5 bed detached house for sale

Durford Wood, Petersfield GU31

Available for viewings from 21st June. A rare opportunity to modernise, extend and remodel a fine house with far reaching views in a national park.
The main house comprises five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, with spacious living areas that would benefit from modernisation, offering the perfect canvas for those wishing to create their dream home. The annex, with three reception rooms, three bedrooms and a bathroom, provides ample space for extended family or could offer the potential for rental income or a home office suite, giving excellent flexibility.
In addition to the main house and annex, there is a garage and further outbuildings that offer additional storage or the possibility of development, subject to the
necessary consents. Historically, planning permission was granted in 2018 (now lapsed) to remodel and extend the house, incorporating the annex and garage into a substantial property arranged around a large central courtyard garden. Plans are available on request. This recent historic approval highlights the potential for further expansion (subject to the necessary planning permission), allowing the new owners to realise the full potential of the property.

Outside

The grounds extend to approximately 3.6 acres, predominantly laid to lawn, providing an excellent environment for outdoor living and recreation. The far-reaching views across the South Downs and surrounding countryside offer a sense of peace and seclusion, while the woodland area, carpeted with bluebells in late spring, adds an extra layer of charm to the landscape. There are a number of specimen trees within the woodland which provide visual interest and a sense of serenity. The combination of open lawns and natural woodland makes for a delightful environment to enjoy year-round. Whether you are looking to create a formal garden or a more relaxed outdoor space, this property offers the opportunity to shape the grounds according to your own tastes and needs.
