Breamore Estate - Conserving an Historic Entity
We have been appointed by the Breamore Estate to undertake condition surveys of the historic buildings and structures across the estate to gain a better understanding of the overall condition of the building fabric. Alongside this we will be developing proposals for the conversion of some of these buildings into new uses to secure their long term future.
Breamore House is an Elizabethan Manor House dating from 1583 which stands on the edge of the New Forest, just north of Fordingbridge, and overlooking the Avon Valley. The house and estate were purchased in 1748 by Sir Edward Hulse, Baronet, and his descendant, Michael Hulse and his family, live here today. Breamore House stands on the western slope of the valley of the River Avon, in a parkland setting. The estate includes land up to, and within, the village of Breamore and the intervening groups of cottages and scattered farms along narrow, hedged lanes which lead from the village, through “The Marsh”, and up the valley side.
The majority of buildings covered in the survey are listed Grade II*, II or curtilage listed and consist of buildings including the Elizabethan Manor House, balustrade walling, cottages, granaries, clock tower, follies and an icehouse to name just a few.
