Set within the New Forest, Green Farm is a distinctive ring‑fenced holding combining a well‑presented Grade II thatched cottage and an agriculturally tied four‑bed farmhouse. The property includes extensive pasture (about 14.82 acres), concrete‑based former poultry and farm buildings (c.1,239.8 sq m) and water features (pond/stream) that enhance the rural setting and biodiversity.
The thatched cottage (1604) is described in exemplary condition, retaining period character and thatch, with landscaped gardens and direct pedestrian access to the paddocks. By contrast the larger farmhouse (1967/68) has been vacant since 2022/23 and requires renovation throughout; it is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which restricts who can legally occupy it.
The collection of six agricultural buildings and extensive hard‑standing offers practical storage, equestrian or light conversion potential, subject to necessary consents and listed‑building or planning constraints. The parcel benefits from direct road access into the forest, rare commoners’ rights and good links to Fordingbridge, A31/A338 routes and nearby rail and airports.
Important constraints are factual: the thatched cottage’s Grade II listing will complicate alterations, and the farmhouse’s AOC limits sale/use options. The farmhouse needs renovation and the site uses LPG heating; council tax is noted as expensive. These are material considerations for any purchaser planning occupation, change of use or development.
