A substantial dwelling situated on 2 acres, offering a unique opportunity to create a very special home. Currently Class E business, commercial and service use, but with no prior approval required to amend to residential use.
An exciting opportunity to convert a grand old building into a spectacular home.
Thruxton Down House occupies grounds of 2 acres and offers incredible flexibility and versatility to its future use.
Test Valley Borough Council [Reference 24/02778/PDMAN] gave notice on 23 January 2025 that prior approval is not required for change of use from the current commercial, business & service (Use Class E) to a dwelling (Use Class C3) - full details on request.
The current layout is configured for commercial purposes with multiple offices, but it would lend itself well to conversion as a residential dwelling, having been originally constructed as a house.
There are kitchen and bathroom facilities to the ground floor, with further bathroom amenities upstairs, including an effective ensuite bedroom. A cellar, currently operating as a plant room completes the accommodation.
The grounds extend to 2.03 acres, with a gated entrance and current parking arrangements for 30+ vehicles and EV charging facilities. An expansive lawn sprawls around the house, with several areas of mature woodland bordering the plot.
The property is sold with no onward chain.
