Large historic farmstead with caravan business and multiple income streams, close to Titchfield Abbey..
- Approximately 7.50 acres including pasture, woodland and pond
Drove Lea Farm is a rare mixed-income country estate in the Meon Valley extending to about 7.50 acres. The principal seven-bedroom farmhouse (c.4,809 sq ft) combines Victorian character with modern living spaces, set within landscaped gardens, paddocks, a pond and almost an acre of woodland. Multiple commercial buildings, yards and hardstanding support existing enterprises including a caravan and camping site, shepherd’s hut holiday let and a wood-chipping business.
For an investor or lifestyle buyer this property offers immediate, diversified income: anticipated caravan site takings of £80–90k pa, multiple rented units and an active woodchip business. Several units show current rental income and further potential rentals and business growth subject to appropriate consents. The location is convenient for the M27, Fareham station and ferry terminals, yet sits beside Titchfield Abbey and the River Meon — attractive to holidaymakers and event guests.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site lies within the Titchfield Abbey Conservation Area and adjoins a scheduled monument, so alterations and expansion will require liaison with planning authorities. Mine and mineral rights were reserved historically and are not included in the freehold. The house uses oil-fired heating, broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is high (Band G). Existing planning consents for caravan numbers and specific uses are in place; any change of use or expansion will need further planning consideration.
Overall Drove Lea Farm suits purchasers seeking a character country home with operational, income-generating land and buildings. It will reward buyers who value location, historical interest and diversified enterprise but accept the regulatory and servicing limitations that come with a conservation setting.
