Description
This property is a 5.55-acre pastureland located in a rural area, with a mix of level and gently sloping terrain. The land is divided into paddocks and has river frontage along the River Meon. The property has a rich history of private equestrian use since 2007 and is now approved for a high-quality private equestrian yard with stables, tack and feed rooms, a hay barn, and an all-weather arena. The development is restricted to private equestrian use only and is supported by a comprehensive landscaping and ecological enhancement scheme. The property has a unique history, with rights and restrictions affecting the entrance and boundaries, as well as covenants requiring no nuisance to the adjoining landowner and no obstruction of the shared accessway. The property is situated within an area covered by "countryside policy" under the current adopted Winchester Local Plan and is also within the Whiteley/Fareham Settlement Gap, limiting the possibility of alternative use beyond agriculture, equestrian, and amenity use.
