Jacobs & Hunt are delighted to present this handsome and thoughtfully extended family home, offering light-filled, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and presented with real care and individuality.
The entrance hall sets the tone, with a stained-glass front door casting soft colour across the timber floor and a striking glass chandelier overhead. Halfway up the staircase, a bespoke stained-glass window, inspired by a church window in Northern France, fills the stairwell with light and colour, a memorable feature of the house.
The principal reception room is the sitting room, a generous dual-aspect space with a bay window seat overlooking the garden and a feature fireplace. Adjacent, the dining room is ideal for entertaining and opens through French doors to the terrace, while a separate music room provides a flexible space suited to a study, snug or playroom.
The heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room, a superb space fitted with bespoke painted cabinetry, solid wood worktops and a cream range cooker beneath a striking black extractor. Two roof lanterns flood the room with natural light, and underfloor heating adds comfort throughout. A characterful dresser area and space for a family dining table complete this sociable room. A well-equipped utility room and a ground floor cloakroom provide additional convenience.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a real retreat. Originally a fourth bedroom, the adjoining room has been thoughtfully incorporated to create a generous dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, flowing through to the bedroom with its pleasant garden outlook. There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying garden or countryside views, and a family shower room. For those requiring additional bedroom space, the dressing room offers the scope to reinstate a fourth bedroom.
The property is approached via a generous gravelled driveway providing ample parking. Of particular note, services for power, water and waste disposal have been installed, making it ideal for those wishing to store a motorhome or caravan on site. The driveway is enhanced by raised vegetable beds, a seating area and mature planting.
Above the driveway, a sloping bank has been left as a wild garden and is a delight in spring, when it bursts into a tapestry of colour from a variety of wild flowers.
The principal gardens lie to the rear and are a real feature. A sunny terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining, set beside a tranquil wildlife pond and surrounded by well-stocked borders, mature shrubs and specimen trees. Stepping stones meander across the lawn, creating a sense of seclusion and privacy.
South Harting is one of the most sought-after villages in the South Downs National Park, with a village shop, primary school, wonderful pub, a church and a strong community spirit. Surrounded by outstanding walking and riding countryside, it lies about 5 miles from the market town of Petersfield, which offers a wider range of shops, schools and a mainline station with fast services to London Waterloo.
