Substantial smallholding with river fishing and extensive buildings for conversion.
Approximately 12.28 acres of permanent pasture and paddockland
Long Acres Farm is a substantial smallholding set in about 12.28 acres with pasture, mature tree belts and open countryside views just outside Curdridge. The holding includes two three-bedroom detached bungalows, a large cluster of conventional farm buildings (c.31,000 sq ft) and roughly 304m single-banked fishing rights on the River Hamble. Its location offers rural privacy while remaining within c.8–15 miles of Southampton and Winchester for rail and road links.
The property will particularly suit buyers seeking a working smallholding, equestrian use or an investor/developer with an interest in agricultural building conversion (subject to planning). Several large agricultural buildings provide obvious scope for alternative uses or continued farm operations; Buildings 12 and 13 are already income-producing on formal leases. The land is Grade 3 permanent pasture, well fenced and served by mains water.
There are material points to note. Cottage 2 is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition, both bungalows share a septic tank, and both are served by oil-fired central heating (some promotional notes also reference mains gas—this should be clarified). The farm lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and any redevelopment or changes of use will require the appropriate planning and environmental consents. The local recorded crime level is above average for the area.
Viewed honestly, Long Acres offers significant scale, direct river frontage and conversion potential close to Southampton — attractive to a buyer who values privacy, agriculture and scope to add value, but it is not a turnkey residential estate and purchasers should factor in planning, environmental and servicing constraints.
