Property description

Capturing glorious views over rolling Hampshire countryside, a rare opportunity to acquire a single 0.75 acre building plot for a two bedroom detached cottage in a little known and unspoilt rural village. Alresford 2.5 miles.

Description
Bordering farmland and lying on the very Southern edge of Gundleton, the plot is offered with the benefit of planning permission from Winchester City Council under Reference 12/00969/FUL subject to conditions obtained on Appeal Ref: APP/L1765/A/13/2194084 dated 23 May 2014. Diagonally opposite open fields, the frontage substantially exceeds 100 ft with the extensive grounds of residential properties both opposite and to the North with New Barn bordering the rear boundary to the East. The land commands Southerly and Westerly views encompassing Cheesefoot Head, Bramdean Common and Cheriton Wood. There is a right of way on the track within the Southern section of the plot to New Barn whilst the track skirting the frontage is subject to a right of way to neighbouring Broadview House.

Location
High in the Hampshire hills near the head of the Itchen Valley, the plot occupies a headland setting in Gundleton, which lies within the parish of Bighton, and yet is within a mile's drive of the A31, Guildford-Winchester axis. Neighbouring Ropley village has local shop/post office, a primary school, church, The Ropley Bar & Cafe (within 1.5 mile) and a busy and traditional social calendar including sports facilities. Some 2.5 miles to the South West lies the small and delightful town of Alresford, well known for its Broad Street, Perins Academy School/Specialist Sports College, a range of high quality shops, the Watercress Steam Railway line, a golf club, and walks beside chalk streams. The surrounding undulating Hampshire countryside affords footpaths, bridleways and byways, whilst the A31 connects with Winchester, Alton, Farnham and Guildford and consequently the national rail and motorway network.
