RURAL CONSULTANCY | SALES | LETTINGS | DESIGN & PLANNING INTRODUCTION Lower Farm is a former working farmyard, in need of modernisation, totalling approximately 31.26 hectares (77.25 acres) in the hamlet of Ramsdean in the heart of The South Downs National Park. The property comprises Lower Farmhouse, a 4 bedroom house, along with a dilapidated brick and stone former milking parlour. There are also two agricultural buildings that represent an opportunity from a planning point of view (STPP). Lower Farm enjoys an enviable position with elevated views across the surrounding countryside and Butser Hill to the south. It is situated in beautiful and exceptionally tranquil countryside with the lifestyle and recreation opportunities that affords. SITUATION Lower Farm is situated in an idyllic spot, with stunning views of Butser Hill, in the quiet hamlet of Ramsdean less than 3 miles to the west of the town of Petersfield. Lower Farm is located close to the villages of East Meon and Stroud, the latter having a well-regarded pub, The Seven Stars, as well as a popular children’s nursery and a Primary School. The market town of Petersfield offers wider facilities including pubs, restaurants and shops. The transport links are excellent with the A3 and A272 close by as well as direct rail access into central London from Petersfield Station in just over an hour. The farm is situated in the heart of The South Downs National Park with a number of footpaths and bridleways close by. Generally, all of the land in lots 1-5 have historically been grazed by sheep and cattle but would be suitable for equestrian grazing.
