GODSHILL POTTERY
Believed to originally date to the early 1900s, Godshill Pottery comprises a timber framed and clad chalet style dwelling standing in an established plot alongside which stands an array of timber framed outbuildings that were historically run as part of the reputable Godshill Pottery until 2023. The Pottery was steeped in the bohemian artistic traditions of the New Forest and the Arts & Crafts movement of the 1920s, and most recently was run for over 60 years by the previous owners, who wished to maintain and preserve the simple traditions of the pottery and associated way of life. To the north east of the pottery is a well tended area of woodland that follows the gradient of the surrounding hillside bi-sected by a track owned by one of the neighbouring properties.
Guide Price: £500,000
Subject to securing all necessary planning permission and regulation approval, there may be scope for redevelopment of the Godshill Pottery with a replacement residential dwelling.
Tucked just inside the Western Escarpment Conservation Area, Godshill Pottery occupies a private location close to the open heath, moor and woodland stretching to encompass Ditchend Bottom, Newgrounds, Hampton Ridge and Pitts Wood Inclosure, where there is glorious walking, riding and cycling countryside. The well-regarded community of Godshill is situated on the Western boundary of the New Forest National Park and provides a number of amenities including a village hall and popular public house. The village is supported by its close links to Sandy Balls Holiday Centre, where there is a leisure complex, restaurant and shop.
The Avonside town of Fordingbridge (approximately 2 miles) provides a further range of day-to-day health, recreational and educational facilities. An excellent local road network ensures convenient access to Bournemouth, Southampton and the Cathedral City of Salisbury, all of which offer more comprehensive facilities including mainline rail links to London (Waterloo), and it is a short drive across the forest via the B3078 to Junction 1 of the M27 at Cadnam. There are international airports at Bournemouth and Southampton.
A gated entrance opens to a gravelled driveway with ample parking and turning space for a number of vehicles and with access to both The Pottery and 'The Secret Garden' beyond.
The Pottery sits to the front of the plot, behind which is an area of garden principally laid to lawn. To the west of the house are a number of timber OUTBUILDINGS associated with the pottery including a former kiln, stores and workshops. Beyond the garden to the north of The Pottery a gate opens into an area of well tended woodland that follows the gradient of the hillside.
