Oakwood House benefits from the rare position of being on the village green, yet retains remarkable privacy. The home and garden have been previously advertised in Country
Life. Opportunities to purchase a property of this sort are exceptionally rare, with this house previously sold on the open market around 30 years ago. Lurgashall Village sits in
the golden triangle of the villages Lurgashall, Lickfold and Lodsworth, between the market towns of Midhurst, Petworth and Haslemere. For larger towns Guildford in Surrey and
the Cathedral city of Chichester, both have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities and theatres. Commuters benefit from enviable transport links to London; a 15 minute drive to the mainline station Haslemere makes available a fast train to London Waterloo in as little as 45 minutes.
The Noah’s Ark village pub attracts tourists for its outstanding beauty and hospitality. The picture-perfect community is anchored around the pub, an impeccable village hall and volunteer supported local shop. Many people are drawn to the village by the notable cricket pitch on the village green. The church bells are pleasantly audible from the garden
surrounding Oakwood House. The adjacent South Downs Way provides renowned walking, riding and cycling, as does the wider South Downs National Park. There is also Polo at
Cowdray Park, horse racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit, including events such as The Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed, and also sailing out of Chichester Harbour.
Three distinct ‘Lovely old world gardens’ are designed into the near acre plot. The largest lawn on the property is lined with mature trees and roses. In another room of the garden, a
mature wisteria trellis is flooded with purple-grey flowers in the late summer; following the arch down leads to an antique terracotta urn. Mature fruit-bearing trees form a small orchard
adjacent to the wisteria arch. In another part of the garden, sheltered behind the main residence, various flowerbeds are arranged around a lawn.
Another prime feature is the newly restored grape house. The inside of the door bears a plack reading, ‘To his Majesty the King’, it is assumed that the grape house and mature grape vine date to the reign of King Edward VIII. The garden also benefits from raised planters for vegetables and sheltered composting facilities.
The two-bedroom annex is fully remodelled in a traditional style, with specification including,
bespoke in-frame shaker style kitchen, oak floors throughout, and a digital walk-in shower. The bedroom is carpeted in fine Wilton-weave Westex ‘Velvet’. The loft space above the annex is generous, and spans the entire length of the annex.
The dwellings are unlisted, and planning permission for a double story extension and a single-story extension has been obtained. Proposed footprints for the primary dwelling are in the region of 275 m2. There are many options for the site. In terms of outlooks, the principal bedroom overlooks Beacon Hill towards The Cowdray Estate, while the second
bedroom overlooks the front lawns. Bedrooms three and four overlook the village and Beacon Hill respectively.
