Gravel Hill, Hampshire, PO8

In an elevated spot, a substantial detached family house in grounds of approximately 3 acres close to Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

The property is believed to originally date from the 1920's with a number of additions. The accommodation is over two floors and provides light, airy, spacious rooms totalling a whopping 3,269 sq. ft. of internal living accommodation (excluding any outbuildings). The floorplan denotes the layout which is flexible and deceptively large for a property within this price bracket. Of particular note is the tremendous double aspect sitting room with a woodburner and double doors leading to a terrace. There is a family room with adjoining bathroom which would enable an incoming purchaser to live on the ground floor if desired. From the hall, an impressive central staircase leads to the first floor landing, off which are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the first floor bedrooms have their own ensuite shower rooms. Outside, the house is approached by a private drive leading to a parking area and garages. In all, the house lies in grounds of approximately 3.2 acres which is either laid to lawn or wooded. On the south and eastern side of the house is a terrace, ideal for outside entertaining. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the space and grounds the property has to offer.

The property is conveniently located between Clanfield, to the south and Petersfield, to the north and close to Queen Elizabeth Country Park. The nearest town is Petersfield where there are a variety of good market town amenities. Shops include Waitrose, Tesco and M&S Foods and there are a variety of independent boutiques and restaurants. For commuters, the railway station provides a direct service to London (Waterloo) in a little over an hour and the tunnel at Hindhead now provides congestion free travel north along the A3 to Guildford and London. Naturally, being in the South Downs National Park, the surrounding countryside provides excellent country pursuits including walking and riding. Further leisure pursuits in the area include golf and an open air swimming pool in Petersfield, horse and motor racing at Goodwood, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing along the South Coast. There are many excellent schools in the area including Churcher's College, Bedales, Ditcham Park, The Petersfield School and Portsmouth Grammar School.

Please note that the house is close to the A3 and therefore there is some road noise.
