Shear Hill, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU31

A detached family home in an elevated spot with south facing gardens, stunning views over The South Downs and swimming pool.

Believed to date from 1928, this detached family house is built with brick elevations under a tiled roof and accommodation over three floors. The current owners bought the property in 2013 and since then have substantially improved and modernised. The practical layout offers well-proportioned accommodation with the principal rooms being on the south side, allowing light to flow through the house. Of particular note is the kitchen with a central island, enough room for a large family dining table and double doors lead to the garden and the triple aspect sitting room has an open fire, a lovely focal point during the cold winter months. On the first floor is the master bedroom with a large en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms, a study and family bathroom. From the landing, stairs rise to the top floor where there are two bedrooms and an additional family bathroom. The views, particularly from the upper floors are truly magnificent. Outside, the house is approached by an "In and Out" drive with ample parking leading to an attached double garage. The delightful south facing gardens are to the rear and are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature borders. There is a covered swimming pool, an ideal spot for the kids to burn off some energy. In all, the house sits in a plot of approximately 0.882 of an acre. Planning Permission was granted in 2012 (although now elapsed) to substantially extend the ground floor accommodation, EHDC Ref: SDNP/27427/003.

Please note that the EPC was prepared before much of the modernisation took place.
