A rare and fantastic opportunity to create a
wonderful family home within the New Forest
National Park with 7 acres.
Directions
From Salisbury take the A36 Southampton Road out of the City and continue for approximately six miles passing through the Brickworth traffic lights. Follow the A36 for another three miles then take the right hand turn onto North Common Lane and follow the road to the right. Continue along North Common Lane for approximately 800 metres where the property is located at the end of the no through road.
Situation
The farm sits in an unspoilt elevated position on the edge of the new Forest National Park and close to the village of Landford, an area rich in farming and forestry. North Common Farm is situated at the end of a ‘no through road’ boasting a private position with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.
The village of Landford has a strong community boasting its own post office/store, public house, and primary school. The larger conurbations within the surrounding area include salisbury, Romsey and Southampton which are all easily accessible from the good road links including the A36, M27 and M3. There are also train links from Romsey Station to Waterloo and Southampton Airport is located just 14 miles away.
The Farmhouse
The good sized period farmhouse is a brick built detached property sitting under a slate roof thought to date back to the mid-late 19th Century. The accommodation is laid out over two floors with four bedrooms on the first floor; all principal rooms can be seen in the floor plan.
The property requires complete renovation and refurbishment but still retains a number of period features including the original fireplaces and oven in the kitchen. The property backs onto the courtyard which comprises attractive traditional Buildings.
The Buildings
A substantial range of traditional buildings located around a courtyard setting. The historic use of the buildings include cow sheds, stables, pig units and granary. These buildings have brick footings with timber boarding above sitting under pitched slate rooves. One of the barns is accessed from full height double doors and there is also a small granary building set on staddlestones.
In addition to the traditional buildings there are also some modern buildings located on the opposite side of the road which include a steel portal framed dutch barn and a cattle yard including feed passage, yard space, cow stalls and another steel portal framed building.
As well as the cattle yard there are also poultry houses and a two storey block built tiled store.
Agents Note – Town & Country Planning
The farm is situated within the New Forest National Park
Authority and pre-application advice has been sought to assess
the likelihood of increasing the size of the existing farmhouse.
The Local Authority has accepted that it may be possible to increase the existing floor space by up to 30%.
North Common Farm is recognised as an ‘undesignated heritage asset’ as it is an example of an unspoiled mid-late 19th Century cottage and farmstead. Consequently a conservation officer will have significant input on any planning application to ensure that the original characteristics of the farmhouse including how it related to the farmyard itself are retained.
The Land
Totalling approximately 7 acres the land comprises a mixture of pasture and woodland. The majority of the land (approx. 5.7 acres) is pasture, and an additional 1.5 acres of established mature woodland on the western boundary. The land is accessed directly from the buildings on either side of the lane.
Services
Mains electricity to the house and buildings with private drainage to the house. There is also mains water available to the land.
Rights of Way
A footpath crosses the farm as shown on the plan.
Basic Payment Scheme
There are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included as part of the sale.
