Set within about 7.70 acres, Abbotswood Farm is a substantial detached farmhouse suited to family life, equestrian use or a smallholding. The main house offers generous living space across two floors, with a large open-plan kitchen/diner, multiple reception rooms and a principal suite. A detached two‑bedroom granny annex (‘The Dairy’) adds flexibility for multigenerational living or rental income.
The grounds are a major asset: fenced paddocks, a 40m x 20m riding manège, traditional stable block, a pond, woods, extensive outbuildings including a large steel portal-frame building, and a heated outdoor pool with paved terrace. The property is approached by a private track from Sandy Lane and secured by electric gates opening onto a courtyard — a private, rural setting with long country views.
Practical considerations are important. Services include mains electricity and water, private drainage, and oil-fired central heating; broadband speeds are very slow locally. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and, while fundamentally solid, the buildings and some external elements may require updating or ongoing maintenance to suit modern expectations. Council Tax is Band G and will be a notable running cost.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking land and equestrian facilities close to Romsey and the New Forest, who value privacy and versatile outbuildings. It’s a lifestyle purchase with scope to improve facilities and adapt the buildings (subject to consent).
