Steep, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU32

Within 1 mile from Bedales School and set in a delightful, quiet setting, a deceptively large family house with gardens and grounds of approximately 2 acres.

A pretty, period cottage having been extensively improved and extended and now very much offers the "Wow" factor. The floorplan denotes the layout which you can see is practical and ideal for modern day living. A great feature of the house is an impressive vaulted dining hall under a glass roof allowing light to flow into the centre of the house. In the old part of the house is a cosy sitting room and there's a fantastic drawing room with picture windows and door overlooking the gardens. On the first floor is a dramatic galleried landing, off which are five bedrooms, a family bathroom and two of the bedrooms have their own en suite shower rooms. For anyone looking to work from home, there is a study with an independent access, ideal for greeting clients away from the family life. From the kitchen, double doors lead out to a tremendous south-east facing terrace which is a great spot for entertaining friends. The house is approached by a gravel drive with ample parking. A gate leads to a lower drive and a barn, ideal for storing that classic car and there are a further array of outbuildings. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with two ponds and a small orchard. In all, the house lies in approximately 2 acres and has a fabulous warm feel to it. An internal viewing is strongly recommended.

The property is situated in the sought after village of Steep, just to the north of Petersfield in the heart of The South Downs National Park. Petersfield offers a variety of amenities in a bustling town centre. Shops include Waitrose, M&S Food, Tesco and there are numerous boutiques, cafes and further shops.
