Six-acre bathroom that is underwater for a lot of the 12 months goes on sale for £250,000 (however you will want a pair of wellies to view it)

A six-acre field that’s flooded for the majority of the year has gone on the market for £250,000.

Potential buyers have been told to bring their wellington boots if they want to view the land that sits on the eastern banks of the River Meon in Fareham, Hampshire, just over a mile from the Solent.

Up to two-thirds of the land floods seasonally, with much of it underwater throughout the winter months. 

Drone footage on the listing shows the land, on the outskirts of Titchfield Village, completely underwater.

The listing says the site attracts wildfowl and other bird species, and most of the fishing rights are included.

The land can only be accessed on foot, with a public car park situated 200m away from the site. 

It’s being advertised by Giles Wheeler-Bennett, who specialises in rural properties.

‘Wellington boots or thigh waders are essential,’ the listing says.

The listing says it has planning consent to take part in a potential nitrate mitigation wetland scheme, but the seller would reserve the right to receive a percentage of any future income if the scheme is implemented within 10 years. 

A nitrate mitigation wetland scheme is a strategy that sees new or restored wetlands used to actively remove excess nitrates from water before it enters protected river systems or coastal areas.
