Sandy Lane, Steep Marsh, Petersfield, Hampshire

Tucked away in a tree-lined no-through lane, this beautiful detached home offers a rare opportunity to own a truly individual residence with rich history and timeless character. Originally two mid-18th century cottages, the property was thoughtfully converted into a single dwelling in the 1980s and has since been sympathetically extended and improved by the current owner, who has cherished the home for over thirty years.

From the moment you step through the large oak front door, you’re welcomed into a warm and inviting space that effortlessly blends authentic period charm with modern comfort. The entrance hall provides a practical and spacious area to store coats and shoes, complete with a large mirrored cupboard, and gives access to a downstairs shower room, a home office, the kitchen and dining room, and a secure internal door to the integral garage.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen and dining area, a generous, character-filled space featuring a striking brick fireplace with a recently installed cast iron wood burner, original exposed oak beams, and ample room for family dining and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful study, ideal for home working, with a charming bay window overlooking the garden.
To the rear of the property, the home opens into a delightful summer room, formerly a conservatory, now a fully insulated and tiled-roof reception space. With panoramic views of the landscaped gardens and a wood burning stove set against a backdrop of exposed flint and stone, this is a space to be enjoyed all year round. Meanwhile, the cosy sitting room, or snug, features a large open fireplace, exposed beams, and room for generous seating, creating the perfect setting for winter evenings by the fire.

Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and storage. A family bathroom completes the upper floor, offering views over the rear garden.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens wrap around the property and are thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and relaxation. A brick-paved patio area includes a built-in BBQ, while a decked seating space beside the fish pond and water feature creates a peaceful corner to unwind. A raised lawn leads to a 5m x 3m studio, fully equipped with light and power, currently used as a creative retreat but offering flexibility for a variety of uses, from home office to hobby space or garden room.
The property also benefits from a large integral garage and a private driveway, offering ample parking.
Located just a short distance from the market town of Petersfield, the home enjoys access to excellent local schools, a vibrant community, and mainline rail links into London, making it an ideal choice for families and commuters alike.

This is a truly special home, steeped in history and full of charm, ready to welcome its next chapter.
