Properties

A truly remarkable opportunity to purchase the East wing of a large country house situated on the highly sought after, private Island estate in Steep. The property has been subject to an extensive yet sympathetic refurbishment programme by the current vendors and offers substantial and well-planned living accommodation arranged over three floors. Dating back to circa 1905, the property provides plentiful character with large, proportioned rooms offering high ceilings, sash windows and many period features adding to the appeal. Complementing the internal accommodation is its wonderfully quiet location offering elevated views and private woodland exclusive for the estate residents, together with only being a short drive from Bedales, Steep Primary School and the main line railway station in Petersfield (London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour line). As you walk through the front door, there is a spacious entrance hall leading to the ground floor living areas and there are two roof windows allowing an abundance of natural light. The drawing room is an impressive space and benefits from a log burner and two large sash windows with an attractive outlook. The fantastic dining room is a wonderful room for entertaining enjoying a double aspect and a feature cast iron fireplace. There is also a third reception room with a further log burner that is currently used as an office / snug but would be suitable for a variety of different uses. The kitchen / breakfast room has been beautifully refitted and offers a comprehensive range of base and eye level units providing ample work and storage space together with granite work surfaces. There is a double butler sink and several high-end integrated appliances all adding to the quality feel. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room which also offers a door to the side aspect area of garden. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom w.c. The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors and the spacious landing accommodates the impressive turning staircase. The bedrooms are all large, ample double rooms and can be configured to an individual’s requirements. The second floor offers either an alternative principal bedroom or a fabulous guest suite, as there is a refitted ensuite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are located on the first floor and are served by a beautifully refitted family bathroom and a separate w.c.. Externally, the property is accessed via a set of iroko wooden electric gates leading to the resin bound driveway providing ample parking. There is also a further iroko pedestrian gate and a resin bound pathway that leads to the front door. The double garage offers a fantastic space with electric roller door and can easily accommodate two vehicles and an additional workshop area. There is also a separate wood store / shed offering further external storage. The gardens have been extensively overhauled to create three distinct areas which are ideal for family living and are safely enclosed by a mixture of fencing and mature hedging. Finally, there is an external cellar offering further storage. A viewing comes highly recommended, so contact Homes Petersfield for more information or to arrange your appointment to view.
