Steep, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU32

A versatile, detached home offering character and exceptional village living, in a surprisingly large garden extending to approximately 0.42 acres. Viewings from Thursday 3rd September.

Description

Believed to originate from the 1500s as a former apple store, the property has evolved sympathetically over the years and now provides approximately 2,000 sq ft of highly adaptable accommodation. The result is a home perfectly suited to modern family life, with an abundance of reception space, potential for ancillary accommodation which could be enhanced or additional space integrated within the main home, in all offering exciting scope for future owners to tailor the layout to their own requirements.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming country kitchen, creating a natural hub to the home. Three separate reception areas, including a sitting room, snug and library, offer excellent flexibility for both family living and entertaining, while the impressive oak-framed orangery opens directly onto the gardens and provides a beautiful connection between inside and out.

The self-contained annexe, complete with its own bathroom and independent access, would benefit from some enhancing but is a super opportunity to create exceptional space for extended family, visiting guests, a home office or even income-generating opportunities, subject to any necessary consents. The striking oak and glass extension creates a wonderful focal point, with a feature staircase leading to the first floor. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and additional study space, all enjoying attractive views across the surrounding countryside and towards the Ashford Hangers.

The part walled gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. They enjoy a sunny south-westerly aspect, and provide an exceptional degree of privacy and a wonderful sense of space. Extensive lawns are interspersed with mature trees, established planting and specimen shrubs, creating a garden that can be enjoyed by families, keen gardeners and those who simply appreciate a peaceful outdoor setting. A magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora and productive fig tree are particular highlights, while the greenhouse and outbuildings provide further practicality and potential.

For buyers seeking a property that can evolve with changing family needs, the flexibility on offer here is exceptional. Whether utilised as a substantial family home, a multi-generational residence, a home-with-income opportunity or a property with dedicated work-from-home space, the accommodation lends itself to a variety of lifestyles and offers exciting scope for further enhancement, subject to the necessary permissions.
