MAGDALENE HOUSE
KEY FEATURES
Fine & Country New Forest are delighted to introduce Magdalene House. This impressive equestrian property offers extensive equestrian facilities and is spread across approximately 24 acres. This home boasts three direct access points into the forest and was operated as a commercial livery yard for 25 years until November 2022. The property includes a three bedroom bungalow with impressive views of the surrounding land, a substantial, beautifully renovated two bedroom annexe and adjacent to the annexe is a spacious workshop/office. The property also includes three large metal barns, previously housing 29 stables that could be reinstated if required.
The property includes a 3-bedroom bungalow with impressive views of the surrounding land. The spacious kitchen and dining room overlook the expansive landscape, flowing into a light-filled sitting room with a log burner, perfect for winter evenings. The bungalow also includes three double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate utility area. Additionally, planning permission was granted on March 1, 2024, to replace the bungalow with a larger eco-home (Planning Ref23/01090FULL).
A substantial, beautifully renovated 2-bedroom annex offers additional ancillary accommodation. The ground floor features two spacious double bedrooms, a shower room with W/C and sink, and a utility area. Upstairs, there is a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area with delightful views of the surrounding landscape.
Adjacent to the annex is a spacious workshop/office with a kitchen, shower room, and a w/c. The property also includes three large metal barns, previously housing 29 stables that could be reinstated if required. These barns have power, and the largest includes, a feeding room, office, and kitchen, having previously served as the management offices.
The current owner had considered enhancing the property’s biodiversity by reintroducing woodland grazing to create a corridor of biodiversity across the forest. Plans included the planting of native hedgerows, woodland blocks, and introducing a wetland area. Additional plans were to replace a part of the current menage with a sanctuary garden and to build a viewing platform on the eastern side of the menage. Plans have also be drawn to landscape the land surrounding the eco home.
In one of the far paddocks, there is a movable field shelter, and planning was granted in 2007 for a large barn.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the property is ideal with three access points to ride out onto the forest and includes a full-sized menage. Magdalene House combines the best of country living with modern conveniences. The market town of Ringwood, located just 2.5 miles away, offers high street shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and major supermarkets like Waitrose and Sainsbury’s.
For broader amenities and entertainment, Salisbury (15 miles), Southampton (22 miles), and Bournemouth (13 miles) with its sandy beaches, are nearby. International airports in Bournemouth and Southampton and the M27 and M3 motorways provide easy travel in all directions.
Within approximately 1 mile of Magdalene House, Blashford Lakes offers opportunities for walking, biking, and open water swimming. The Reserve is crucial for overwintering wildfowl and attracts a variety of specialist plants and birds, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.
Magdalene House presents a unique opportunity to enjoy an exceptional equestrian lifestyle in a stunning and convenient location.
