Property description
A wonderful opportunity to build an impressive contemporary home in a 1/3 acre plot within the semi rural setting of Awbridge or renovate and extend this period character cottage to provide an attractive family home.
Introduction
Situated with a frontage to Old Salisbury Lane with delightful countryside views to the front and rear this attractive plot has consent for a pretty yet substantial four bedroom home designed to a high specification with energy efficiency in mind. Alternatively, 2 Roke Farm Cottages offers great potential to refurbish and extend the existing dwelling providing a substantial semi detached farm cottage with garage and parking.
Description- Plot
The work involves demolition of the existing semi detached cottage with the new dwelling to be set back further from the front curtilage offering a high degree of privacy and delightful views across light woodland and farmland.
The proposed dwelling has been cleverly designed to incorporate bifold doors and patio doors to the garden from the three reception rooms and features a large utility/boot room to supplement the kitchen breakfast room. The four bedrooms are all well sized with ample wardrobe space and the impressive master suite hosts a dressing area and ensuite bathroom.
Description- Cottage
The cottage is in need of full restoration and is approached via a UPVC double glazed front door to the entrance hall which accesses a pretty dual aspect sitting room with open fire. The kitchen is fitted with eye and base level unis, plumbing for appliances and a large larder. The ground floor is completed by a fitted shower room and on the first floor are two well proportioned bedrooms, one with loft space and fitted wardrobes but both enjoying views to the rear garden.
Outside
The gardens encompass the existing and proposed dwelling and offer excellent views across adjoining countryside. The plot extends to approximately 1/3 acre and there is a wide frontage to Old Salisbury Lane with ample space to create a suitable access drive to the side of the cottage and space to build a substantial garage/workshop to the side or rear. The plot is principally south facing and offers potential to create an attractive setting screened by woodland to the rear. The side boundary to the East adjoining the field is heavily screened by hedgerow.
Agents Notes
The new property will be served by oil fired heating and private drainage. There is no heating within the existing cottage.
Location
The plot is situated in the picturesque village of Awbridge, which offers a primary school, church and village hall with farm shops on the edge of Awbridge and Kimbridge. A more comprehensive range of amenities and schooling can be found in Romsey (approximately three miles away). There is also a railway station in Dunbridge (some two miles away) providing a local service to Salisbury, Southampton, Eastleigh and Portsmouth. Both Southampton and Winchester are within a short drive and Junction 3 of the M27 is close at hand providing fast links to the New Forest, the South Coast, Eastleigh Airport and the M3 to London.
Directions
From Romsey take the A27 passing through the village of Shootash, turning right into Danes Road at the crossroads. Take the first right into Old Salisbury Lane and the property can be found on the right hand side.
