Summary - Downlands Farm, Linnies Lane, Sway SO41 6ES
4 bed 2 bath Equestrian Facility
Established cattery and buildings ideal for equestrian or mixed agricultural use.
Approximately 4.5 acres with stables, barn, field shelter and outbuildings
Set within the New Forest National Park, this detached equestrian property sits in about 4.5 acres with extensive outbuildings, stables, a barn, field shelter and an eight-suite cattery. The main house offers generous living space (circa 2,664 sq ft) arranged over two storeys, including a large kitchen/breakfast/family room with bifold doors to the patio, separate reception rooms, study and four bedrooms. Solar panels supply electricity to the house and cattery, and the EPC is a strong B86.
The site offers clear commercial or mixed-use potential: an established cattery/hotel, multiple agricultural buildings and paddocks, and scope to enhance the existing operation. There is attractive privacy and vehicular access via electric gates, substantial parking and outdoor entertaining space, making it suitable for an equestrian household, small-livestock use or an income-producing enterprise.
Important restrictions and practical points are straightforward: the property is sold freehold but is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which limits who can legally occupy the dwelling. A further c.12 acres is available by separate negotiation. Services include mains water, gas and electricity, with private drainage on site. Broadband is average (up to c.80 Mbps).
Overall, this is a rare semi-rural opportunity for buyers seeking an established equestrian/cattery operation with immediate use and scope to develop, while being mindful of the agricultural occupancy restriction and private drainage arrangements.
