Residential small-holding with environmental and development opportunities
Description
High View and Bonakers Farm is a residential small holding on the outskirts of the village of Porton. The property comprises a 6-bedroom bungalow (built subject to an agricultural occupancy condition), modern agricultural buildings which, subject to planning, could be suitable for alternative uses, permanent pasture and watermeadows with frontage to the River Bourne. High View and Bonakers Farm is offered for sale as a whole or in two lots:
Lot 1 – High View Bungalow, agricultural buildings and pasture to the East of Idmiston Road extending to approximately 29.9 acres (12.1 hectares).
Lot 2 – Watermeadows to the west of Idmiston Road extending to approximately 16.5 acres (6.7 hectares).
Lot 1 - High View Bungalow
High View Bungalow is a 6 bedroom, two bathroom property offering extensive family living space. The bungalow is currently laid out as two separate, 3 bedroom units which share a single access but could easily be combined into one substantial dwelling.
High View Bungalow benefits from a large driveway suitable for a number of vehicles, double garage and a small but privately placed garden.
Farm Buildings
The buildings at Bonakers Farm enjoy a private position set away from the Bungalow, accessed via a farm track taken off Idmiston Road. The buildings, which are all of modern construction, are currently used in association with a beef enterprise and for storing farm machinery. The condition of each building varies, but they present opportunity for development, be that under Class Q permitted development for residential use or another commercial use, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.
Land
Lot 1 includes permanent pasture extending to approximately 29.9 acres (12.12 hectares) and has historically been used for grazing livestock, most recently beef cattle. The land, which is gently sloping, presents opportunity for a conservation project, rewilding or tree planting as well as conventional agriculture. Whilst not allocated for development under the local plan, the land may present some long term potential owing to its convenient location, accessibility and increasing demand for housing in the area.
Lot 2 - Watermeadows
Lot 2 takes access from Idmiston Road and consists of 16.5 acres (6.68 hectares) of watermeadows, lying either side of the River Bourne. Whilst there is some seasonal waterlogging, the site is a haven for flora and fauna.
Location
Situated in the Bourne Valley, Porton is a conveniently placed village with everyday facilities including a post office, shop, pub, doctors surgery and primary school. A wider range of shopping and leisure facilities are available in the cathedral city of Salisbury just 6 miles to the south. Porton is well placed for transport links to London and the west country by both road and rail with the A303 leading to the M3 and M25 a short drive to the north, and mainline train stations to London Waterloo at both Grateley and Salisbury.
