The Haddow Partnership; later kitchen and breakfast-room work attributed to Formwork Architects — professional appointments and as-built scope to verify

Independent reading
A 2004 contemporary Test Valley house of nearly 6,100 sq ft, with 6.24 acres, a self-contained studio and a complete six-horse equestrian programme.
Woolbury clears the exceptional-modern gate through the architectural resolution of its full-height oval hall, gallery levels, curved stair and countryside-connected plan, while the 6.24-acre equestrian programme adds unusual lifestyle completeness. The decisive diligence question is whether the house, studio, garages, stable block, manège and solar scheme reconcile to the title, approvals, legal uses and signed component measurements.

Investigate next
- Obtain the official register, title plan and UPRN, then reconcile the named-house identity, 6.24-acre extent, access, boundaries, rights, covenants and the reported proximity to protected landscape and archaeological constraints.
- Build the complete 2004 planning, Building Control, completion, structural, glazing and warranty archive, then join every later alteration, the self-contained studio, equestrian uses and the 21 January 2025 solar permission to implemented drawings and conditions.
- Commission a signed RICS component measurement separating the main house, studio, garages, workshop, stable block, plant, circulation and limited-use space before relying on the £451 per sq ft main-house density.
- Obtain three years of oil, electricity, borehole, drainage, generator, equestrian, grounds, insurance and maintenance records plus current EPC and property-level flood, groundwater, drainage, ground, radon and subsidence evidence.
