Set within the New Forest National Park on a generous 0.26-acre plot, this detached mid‑century bungalow offers a rare opportunity to create a substantial family home. Planning permission has been granted to demolish the existing single‑storey dwelling and replace it with an executive detached house of approximately 2,500 sq ft — a clear route to a modern, spacious property in a highly sought-after location.
The current bungalow is dated, unkempt and in need of total modernisation; it is not mortgageable in its present condition and will require purchase without standard finance. The site includes numerous outbuildings, a garage and car port, plus mains services already connected, which simplify redevelopment logistics. The current owner is prepared to sell as-is or to enter a contract to carry out the demolition and construction of the replacement dwelling.
For families, the location is a major draw: Ashurst train station and open New Forest are a short walk away, and a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime rates — useful for everyday living while the new home is built.
This is a project for buyers seeking a significant plot and planning certainty in an affluent, semi‑rural setting. It suits a family wanting a bespoke new house, or a developer/investor prepared to buy without mortgage lending on the existing structure and manage a rebuild to realise the site’s full potential.
