Detached bungalow on site — requires full modernisation or demolition

Existing EPC F and renovation/warranty details to be confirmed
An unusually large, private plot of circa 0.25 acres on the edge of the New Forest, offered with full planning permission to replace the existing bungalow with a substantial executive home in excess of 2,500 sqft. The site sits moments from open forest, with easy access to Ashurst train station and local amenities — an appealing location for family living and outdoor lifestyle.
The existing detached three-bedroom bungalow requires full modernisation and presents clear scope for demolition and rebuild under the granted consent. The approved architect-designed scheme shows open-plan living, generous glazing to the rear, a principal bedroom with ensuite and Juliet balcony, and high-spec energy-efficient touches throughout. The plot benefits from ample driveway parking, a large attached garage/workshop and two access points allowing an in-and-out drive.
Practical factors are straightforward: freehold tenure, no onward chain, mains services, fast ultrafast broadband available, and low flood risk. Notable constraints include a Tree Preservation Order affecting on-site trees and an existing EPC rating of F (current), which the new build intends to address. Buyers should allow for renovation/demolition costs, the formal warranty to be confirmed, and typical build timescales before occupation.
This opportunity suits a family or buyer seeking a sizeable, secluded riverside-edge plot to create a contemporary family home with substantial living space and grounds. Investors comfortable with development and planning in a protected landscape will also find the granted consent and location attractive, though they should factor in conservation constraints and project costs.
