Offered to the market for the first time in 60 years and a rare opportunity to acquire a building plot in a quiet position on the edge of the popular village of Rotherwick, with open farmland views and a modern two bedroom barn constructed in 2017, which could be occupied during the build process of the main house.

Planning permission has been granted (Ref. No: 25/00598/AMCON and Ref. No: 22/02428/FUL) for a family home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a spacious additional guest wing/home office. The proposed property is south facing and enjoys grounds of approximately two-thirds of an acre, with views over the surrounding farmland.

The plans for the thoughtfully designed family home include a generous entrance hall, together with a study and cloakroom. There is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, featuring a walk-in pantry and large windows that fill the room with natural light and maximise the rural views. A separate snug is located off the living area.

The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and en suite shower room, with attractive views. All bedrooms are south facing and enjoy large windows overlooking the grounds. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

A substantial boot room/laundry room with two external doors provides excellent practicality and leads to the second wing of the house, which contains a convenient shower room and a versatile additional living area. A second staircase rises to the upper level, which would be ideal as a gym, guest room or home office.

The approximate gross internal floor area of the new house is 3,950 sq ft.

Additionally, in the corner of the plot there is a contemporary barn, constructed by the current owners to a high specification throughout, with premium insulation, a feather-edged larch exterior and a clay tile roof reminiscent of traditional black timber-clad Hampshire barns.

The accommodation is arranged with the ground floor as a generous open-plan living space incorporating a dining area and kitchen. Solid oak flooring with Danish white oiled finish runs throughout, with a white-painted exposed beam ceiling. Windows on all sides, including large folding doors opening onto a south-facing deck, create a naturally bright space and allow seamless indoor-outdoor living. A modern wood burner warms the entire room, while heating and air conditioning are provided by an air source heat pump. There is also a MVHR ventilation system ducted in all rooms.

The sleek fitted kitchen includes built-in Miele appliances. The stylish ground-floor bathroom is finished in honed Calacatta marble with underfloor heating and incorporates a laundry area with Miele appliances.

The bespoke structural steel staircase with solid oak treads leads to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and access to loft storage. Both bedrooms benefit from bespoke joinery, Velux windows and double-glazed French doors, one with en suite shower room in marble with underfloor heating.

The Barn has its own driveway via a double five-bar gated entrance framed by a mature willow tree, providing ample parking. This residence offers a rare opportunity to comfortably live onsite while overseeing the build of a bespoke new home in an exceptional village-edge setting.

Gross internal floor area of The Barn is 1,199 sq ft.
