AGENTS NOTE
The drainage (treatment plant) for The Chapel will be required to be located to the front left hand corner of Penny Black Cottage opposite as per the approved planning permission. We understand the outlet for the new treatment plant drainage will need to be connected to a new sewerage treatment plant to the rear of Penny Black Cottage, the cost to be met by the purchaser of The Chapel for the installation of the drainage for both properties.
The Chapel is located close to the centre of the picturesque Hampshire village of Damerham in countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village provides a reputable Primary School (Western Downland), a Village Hall, Church and Public House, whilst the near-by Avonside town of Fordingbridge (about 3 miles) caters for most everyday needs, including a range of shops, well respected Primary and Secondary schooling and sporting facilities.
Communications in the area are good, with the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton all within convenient driving distance. All can provide mainline rail links to London Waterloo and there are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton. The village is well placed for those wishing to enjoy the area on foot,wheel or in the saddle; a number of bridleways and footpaths exist in and around Damerham itself, whilst the New Forest National Park, with its thousands of acres of walking and riding countryside, lies about 5 miles to the East.
Allocated parking will be available in Penny Black Cottage opposite The Chapel.
Small courtyard area can be created to the rear, to provide outside space.
