An unusual chance to secure a large plot within the New Forest National Park with full planning (granted November 2025) to replace the existing bungalow with a new, four-bedroom family home. The proposed dwelling offers 2,544 sq ft of internal space, a master suite with Juliet balcony and en-suite, second en-suite bedroom, a flexible open-plan kitchen/dining/snug and landscaped gardens — all designed for low-carbon running with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor, triple glazing and solar panels.
The incoming buyer can choose to appoint the current developer to build the home (with options over internal finish) or use their own contractor, giving scope to tailor the interior. The plot extends to approximately 0.26 acres and includes in-and-out driveways and a timber double car port. Ashurst railway station is nearby for direct services to the region and London (note some trains do not stop at Ashurst).
Be clear about the practicalities: the site is currently occupied by a bungalow that will be demolished; the development must comply with New Forest National Park planning and strict external design controls; and running costs, council tax banding and final finishes will depend on the completed build. Buyers should allow for demolition, construction costs and possible planning conditions when assessing the overall budget and consult professionals about stamp duty and tax treatment on land purchase.
