Weston Road, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU31

A substantial detached family house on a sought-after residential road situated between The Heath and High Street.

The property is a detached family house with brick elevations under a tiled roof and accommodation over three floors plus cellar. Believed to date from 1908, the house has high ceilings and large windows, allowing light to flow through the rooms. In a previous life, the house was once a hotel and was substantially extended to the rear. The floorplan denotes the layout but of particular note is the tremendous drawing room with a wood burner and three sets of sliding doors to the rear garden. The kitchen is in the heart of the house with an Aga. The dining area has French doors onto a courtyard, ideal for dining al fresco. The sitting room at the front enjoys morning sunshine, and there are several rooms providing ample study and hobby spaces. On the first floor are two en suite bedrooms, a third bedroom, the main family bathroom and a small additional shower. From the landing, stairs rise to the second floor, which offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are delightful views from here across the town to Butser Hill and Ashford Hangers. To the outside, the house is approached by an "In and Out" front drive with parking for a number of cars. The main garden is to the rear and is predominantly laid to lawn, with a summer house/ shed and hammock hanging points for lazy summer days! Being on the north-west side of the house, it benefits from capturing the afternoon sun during the summer months making it an ideal area to entertain.

The property is situated close to The Heath, which covers 69 acres of land including a 22 acre pond and the High Street is just 0.2 miles away.
