Barentin Way, Petersfield, Hampshire

A light and spacious link-detached home, that has been updated by the current owner with an upgraded fitted kitchen and new bathrooms, plus new ground floor carpets and flooring. Offering four well-proportioned bedrooms, the master bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room, while a family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms.

As you walk through the front door, you get an immediate feeling of space with a good size entrance hall, with a staircase that leads to the first floor. You are drawn into a 20ft triple aspect lounge with French doors to the pretty rear garden. There is a separate dining room, an upgraded fitted kitchen/breakfast room with utility room adjacent, plus a cloakroom. The house enjoys double glazed windows and gas central heating.

Externally, the property features two private parking spaces — a driveway at the front of the house and a carport located at the rear of the garden, accessible via a pedestrian gate. This is a real asset in Petersfield, where parking can often be limited. The front garden is laid to lawn and offers privacy thanks to mature hedging behind low-level wrought iron fencing. The rear garden is predominantly lawned with patio areas ideal for alfresco dining and relaxation, and includes direct access to the rear carport.

Petersfield is wholly within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies within South Downs National Park. Affording an abundance of footpaths, bridlepaths, and country lanes, ideal for walking, riding, and cycling on the doorstep. The town offers an excellent range of shops including the Rams Walk complex, Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, Marks & Spencer food hall and a twice-weekly market held in The Square on Wednesday and Saturday. Petersfield also has a main line railway station providing a service from Portsmouth to London Waterloo and recreational facilities include The Heath, lake, 18-hole golf course, Taro Sports Centre and there are various clubs and societies. There are excellent schools in the vicinity including The Petersfield School, Bedales, Churcher’s College and Ditcham Park School.

“What I love about my home and its location”

One of the things I really enjoy about my home is the garden… whether you’re a sun-seeker or prefer some shade, there’s always the perfect spot. On a sunny morning, I love sitting out on the rear garden patio with a coffee, and in the evening, I just open the living room patio doors and unwind with a glass of something in the last of the day’s sunshine.

Privacy has always been important to me, and that’s something this home offers. The garden isn’t overlooked for the most part, and the large hedge at the front gives a real sense of seclusion from passersby.

Parking can be a challenge in Petersfield, so having two private spaces has been a huge advantage — one on the front drive and another in the carport at the rear of the garden. It’s also great having two visitor bays just across the way (shared between houses 2–12), which is really handy when friends or family come by.

The house sits at the entrance to the development, which means it’s super convenient for getting onto the A3 quickly, and it’s just a 15-minute walk into town. It’s also far enough from the railway line and Kingsfernsden Lane crossing that you don’t hear a thing, yet you’re still only 20 minutes on foot from Petersfield station for a direct train into London.

I’ve absolutely loved living here — it’s peaceful, practical, and perfectly placed. I’m sure the next owner will feel the same.
