Approached via a private track, the property benefits from off road parking and opens into an entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house. To one side lies a striking sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, wood burning stove and a wrought iron spiral staircase rising to a mezzanine level, currently used as a home office.
Set beyond the sitting room is the principal bedroom suite, incorporating an en suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower, a dressing area, and glass sliding doors leading to a decked terrrace providing direct access to the garden. From the entrance hall, a cloakroom with built in storage and utility space sits centrally, with a step leading down to a well designed kitchen and additional living area. The kitchen is contemporary in style and fitted with integrated appliances, arranged around a practical island that works well for daily use and entertaining alike. An adjoining dining area features double doors opening onto the garden, while a wrought iron staircase separates the kitchen from the adjacent seating area. A side porch, complete with the property's original front door, adds another layer of character. The upper floor provides two further bedrooms along with a family bathroom and useful eaves storage.

Outside
Externally, the gardens and a small orchard are delightful and provide many areas of interest with a range of beds, borders and areas for outdoor entertaining. The rear garden is enclosed and extends towards the neighbouring churchyard, laid mainly to lawn with a patio area well suited to outdoor dining. To the front and side, a thoughtfully planted cottage garden leads back towards the parking area, completing the setting.

Location
Positioned within the South Downs National Park the surrounding countryside is magnificent and offers bridleways and footpaths in abundance. The village itself affords a thriving community with a village store, butchers' shop, school, church and the popular Thomas Lord public house. Situated within a designated Conservation Area, offering a degree of protection from extensive new development.

The A32 provides excellent access for commuters to Winchester, Petersfield and Alton which in turn have train services to London or direct access onto the A3 or M3 to the capital or to the coast. There is an excellent range of local state and independent schools, including a village primary school, The Petersfield School (TPS), Churchers College, Ditcham Park and Bedales.
