Quiet rural plot with pasture, woodland and easy links to nearby villages.
Approx. 5.24 acres in Lot 2 including 3.58 acres pasture
An expansive freehold parcel of arable and pasture land extending to approximately 5.24 acres (Lot 2) within a larger holding near Wickham and Shedfield. The plot includes about 3.58 acres of pasture, an unfenced belt of broadleaved woodland forming part of a SINC, and areas of gorse — offering immediate grazing, amenity and biodiversity value. Elevated sections provide far-reaching rural views and two gated accesses off Biddenfield Lane.
Practical benefits include rights to connect mains water and drainage and nearby low-voltage electricity (neither currently connected). Historic prior-notification consents for a substantial agricultural building were granted on two occasions but were not implemented and have now expired — any new proposals should be discussed with Winchester City Council. A cable easement allowing a cable to be laid through the land to serve a neighbouring solar proposal is in place until May 2028 and should be considered by purchasers.
The field is partially fenced and crossed by a public footpath that lies inside the Lot 2 boundary — useful for access but requiring acceptance of public right of way. The woodland is environmentally designated (SINC), so management and change of use will be subject to ecological considerations. Boundary positions shown on site are indicative and the exact lot split will be confirmed by survey at sale.
This parcel will suit buyers seeking a countryside investment, grazing land, or a recreational rural plot with potential for agricultural buildings subject to planning. Important practical points — no services are currently connected, expired planning consents must be re-applied for if required, and an easement for cable works crosses the site — are set out so buyers can approach the property with full facts.
