Set high on a private lane with uninterrupted views toward Portsmouth and Southampton, this modern timber‑clad home (built 2018) offers contemporary country living and huge outdoor scope. The open-plan living and country kitchen provide generous social space, while a ground-floor bedroom and large office give flexibility for a home annexe or workspace. The elevated patio and triple-aspect principal rooms make the most of the panoramic outlook.
The property sits within c.13.79 acres including paddocks, small woodland, five agricultural barns, stables, brick kennels and an insulated office building with independent access. The land is configured for grazing and smallholding use and will particularly appeal to buyers needing equestrian or light agricultural facilities.
Important legal and practical points: the property is subject to a Section 106 agricultural occupancy tie, which restricts residential occupation; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is described as expensive; and the site is an isolated hamlet location with above-average local crime rates. Prospective buyers should verify planning, occupancy, and services before offer.
Overall this is a rare package for someone seeking a modern detached home with extensive productive land and outbuildings — excellent for rural living, small‑scale farming or those wanting adaptable workspace — provided the agricultural occupancy conditions suit the buyer.
