A rare opportunity to acquire a property with land in this renowned and popular location. Hound Nurseries, as the name suggests, was formerly a nursey and market garden and was utilised for growing a wide variety of fruits and crops. More latterly the owners have run a small farm shop from the property and a small camping and touring caravan site. The property also has scope for a wide variety of other uses including private equestrian and many others subject to necessary planning permissions being obtained.
The bungalow was built around 1990 and in October 2021 the Agricultural Tie was removed. The extensive range of self-built outbuildings are in need of updating, and the bungalow itself would benefit from some internal modernisation.
Hound Nurseries is set well back from the road which leads down into Hamble Village which has a range of amenities including, local public houses and restaurants and a good secondary school. It lies alongside the beautiful River Hamble which is now a mecca for those who have an interest in many types of boat and water sports. There are lovely river walks for birdwatchers and nature lovers as well as fishing opportunities, boat trips, windsurfing, cycling, golf and horse riding. The Royal Victoria Country Park also lies nearby and has lovely walking areas and scope for other sports. The property is also readily accessible to Southampton to the north and the M27 motorway (junction 3).

OUTSIDE, OUTBUILDINGS & LAND
The property is set well back from the main road and is approached via a gate access which leads to a large self-built
Outbuilding mainly timber and corrugated construction c. 70’ x 25’ (about 21.4m x 7.6m) divided into two areas, one at the front has been utilised as a small farm shop and the rear area utilised as a store.

Within the side field there are a further Four Smaller Outbuildings which require rebuilding. There is also one Large Polytunnel and Two Smaller Polytunnels that require recovering. The polytunnels are not currently in use but were previously used for strawberry and raspberry production.
The Land is a particularly nice feature of this property and comprises productive land which is now mainly level pastureland which has in the past been used for growing crops. There is a small plantation of mature Christmas trees. The vendor informs us the land is generally well drained.
The vendors have also mowed an area of the land which is utilised as a CL Registered Caravan Site.
At the far end of the land, across the eastern end of the property, we understand there are a number of buried pipelines.
