Set on almost seven acres at the edge of Bartley and bordering the New Forest National Park, View House Farm is a rare equestrian opportunity offered for the first time in 80 years. The three-bedroom detached house sits centrally within well-maintained gardens and a level six-acre paddock, with a stable yard of three stables, tack room and a brick workshop/garage — practical for private grazing and horseboxes.
The house, built in the 1980s on an older farm site, provides generous living space including a triple-aspect 20' living room, an adjoining fitted kitchen and three double bedrooms upstairs. Elevated aspects look out across paddocks and garden; the plot and Forest Rights give privacy, openness and direct access to woodland riding and walks.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, EPC is currently D with scope to improve, and the property is freehold with Council Tax in Band E. Broadband availability is mixed in listings (up to around 43 Mbps reported), and access along the lane includes a section owned by Winchester College with a right of access. Buyers should also review flood risk and insurance implications for a rural holding.
This property will suit equestrian families or buyers seeking a substantial rural plot with established outbuildings and grazing. It presents immediate rural living with clear potential for modernising energy performance and outbuilding adaptation to suit individual equine or hobby farming needs.
