Bramshaw, Lyndhurst

*Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000* An incredibly rare and true ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to purchase a charming, detached bungalow in need of complete refurbishment or build a brand-new ECO home in arguably one of the finest locations in the New Forest. Full planning permission has been granted to construct an outstanding dwelling set with a stunning 0.6 acre plot overlooking open forest to the front and private woodland to the rear.

SITUATION

Bramshaw is one of the most attractive New Forest villages, providing an excellent range of facilities, including a village hall, church, village shop, two country public houses, a hotel, restaurants, garage and the renowned Bramshaw Golf Club with two 18-hole courses.

The area is renowned for its excellent schools including Chafyn Grove, Sailsbury Cathedral School and Godolphin in Salisbury, whilst there is also The Gregg and King Edward School at Southampton; Embley, Winchester College and St Swithuns.

Bramshaw is also well placed for access to local towns and cities including Romsey (7 miles), Salisbury (13 miles), Southampton (15 miles), and Winchester (18 miles). Southampton International Airport (13 miles) offers excellent links to Continental Europe with the Airport Parkway station connecting to London Waterloo in a little over an hour.

The New Forest offers thousands of acres of unspoilt moors, heath and woodland for those with walking and equestrian pursuits. For those with interests in yachting Hamble, Lymington and Poole are all within easy driving distance.

The existing property comprises a detached, brick-built bungalow in need of complete refurbishment. The existing dwelling may also offer potential for enlargement (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).

Designed to blend within its natural surroundings, the proposed new build design centres around a central living space featuring a spacious sitting room with window seat and a striking kitchen/dining room that will feature an extensive range of modern units, built-in appliances, a complementing island unit and space for a large dining table and chairs. From the dining area, windows and a door will overlook and open onto a generous terrace.

Elegant, symmetrical side wings house the bedroom and bathroom accommodation. These areas have been cleverly designed to frame the central space, while a double-vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of light and volume. The principal bedroom suite will occupy one of the wings, while the two remaining double bedrooms and family bathroom will form the other.

The curving roof profile of the side-wings would meet the steeply pitched gable roof of the central range, to create an original and interesting architectural statement forming a vaulted roof for the principal living spaces. This would be enlivened by the use of reclaimed local brick and the use of decorative brick detailing to add distinction and quality of design to this part of the Conservation Area and complement aspects of other properties in the area.

Application Reference Number: 24/01096FULL

Please note: The approved plans could be adapted to suit personal requirements (subject to the relevant consents being granted).

OUTSIDE

Double gates open onto a sweeping driveway leading directly to an area of off-road parking and where the double garage will stand. The garage will feature an array of photovoltaic solar roof panels powering both the air source heat pump and EV charging point.

Set behind the garage, there is permission for a stylish home office/garden studio while an existing, large stable outbuilding adjoins the rear boundary.

The property is set is a beautiful level plot extending to approximately 0.6 acres, adjoining private woodland to the rear and open forest to the front.
