6 bedroom house

An unusual opportunity to acquire a dilapidated Grade II Listed farmhouse (about 2650 sq ft) in approx. 1.6 acres.

Fairbourne Farmhouse's origins are quite possibly mediaeval but earliest surviving parts are c.1680 and 18th Century. The site formed one of the boundaries to Michelmersh Manor as early as 985 AD, when it was known as "feora burnan" - hence Fairbournes...

The property itself has fallen into disrepair and requires complete restoration. There are 4 reception rooms and 6 first floor bedrooms but naturally, there is plenty of scope and versatility with regards to the layout/uses. The property is about 2650sqft, with further potential to develop the 2nd floor (the total would be close to 4000sqft) and the main farmhouses faces South with far reaching views over the garden (0.42 acres) and paddock (approx 1.2 acres) beyond. There is a poultry shed with potential for a variety of uses in addition.

The location of this unique opportunity is in the centre of one of the Test Valley's most favoured villages of Braishfield, a few miles from both Romsey and Winchester. Such is the nature of the building, all viewings are strictly by appointment.

Braishfield, a small village to the north-west of Romsey, is quietly situated and provides facilities to include two public houses, junior school, village hall and popular village shop. Schools for all ages, both state and private, are readily available. The larger centres of Romsey and Winchester are both within a 20 minute drive, with the city of Southampton about 8 miles distant.

To be confirmed

From Romsey take the Winchester Road out of the town and after about 3/4 of a mile turn left into Braishfield Road. Continue along Braishfield Road and into the village of Braishfield. Just past the Dog and Crook Public House there is a turning on the left leading to Fairbourne Farmhouse.
