Occupying approximately 1.3 acres, this substantial seven-bedroom country residence with a fully self-contained three-bedroom annex presents a rare lifestyle opportunity on the edge of the South Downs National Park, within easy reach of Petersfield.
Designed for multi-generational living, income potential or a more self-sufficient countryside lifestyle, this exceptional home combines privacy, flexibility and rural prestige - all within Hampshire.
The Main Residence
Set well back from a peaceful country road, an expansive gravel driveway approaches this striking detached home, framed by mature trees and beautifully maintained grounds.
The grand entrance hall immediately establishes a sense of scale and elegance - welcoming, well-proportioned and thoughtfully presented.
Ground Floor
The formal sitting room is rich in character, with a round bay window that brings warmth and brightness throughout the day, complemented by an exposed brick fireplace with a modern wood burner creating a welcoming focal point. Double doors lead through to the dining room, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the gardens and ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen continues the classic country aesthetic, with traditional wooden cabinetry, Amtico-style wood effect flooring and space for a range-style cooker. A separate utility room keeps everyday practicalities discreetly tucked away.
To the rear, the extended family room offers a more contemporary contrast, with impressive high ceilings, skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing. Patio doors open onto both the front and rear gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A second log burner adds warmth and atmosphere, making this a true year-round living space.
Also on the ground floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a recently renovated family bathroom, offering flexibility for guests or those seeking step-free accommodation.
First Floor
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is an impressive private retreat, complete with walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom. A characterful landing with reading area overlooks the entrance hall below, adding architectural interest and charm.
Fully Self-Contained Three Bedroom Annex
A defining feature of this property is the fully independent annex, connected to the main house yet entirely self-sufficient.
Ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or long-term rental income, the annex provides exceptional versatility.
It comprises:
A ground floor double bedroom with private en suite
Two further double bedrooms upstairs, one with en suite
A modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances
Contemporary styling throughout
Its own private fenced garden and patio area
Properties offering this level of annex accommodation near the South Downs are seldom available.
Grounds and Outdoor Living – Approximately 1.3 Acres
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, creating outstanding privacy and a genuine countryside sanctuary.
The land offers potential for smallholding aspirations, productive kitchen gardens or beautifully landscaped outdoor entertaining spaces, subject to any necessary consents.
A generous rear patio provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, summer gatherings or relaxing evenings under the stars.
Further benefits include a detached double garage, extensive gravel driveway parking and scope for additional outdoor storage or workshop space, subject to planning permission.
Wildlife is abundant, from birdsong in the morning to deer at dusk, creating an ever-changing seasonal backdrop.
Location
Enjoying an idyllic setting on the edge of the South Downs National Park, the property balances rural tranquillity with excellent accessibility.
Local amenities including shops, doctors, schools and restaurants are approximately one mile away. Petersfield railway station is around 15 minutes by car, offering direct services to London Waterloo, ideal for those seeking countryside living without sacrificing connectivity.
