Description:

An attractive and well proportioned country house with delightful gardens of approximately 1.5 acres.

THE PROPERTY Sheet Common House is an attractive, imposing country house, originally built for an affluent family with internal staffing accommodation. Constructed of red brick facing elevations beneath a pitched, clay tiled roof, the property offers light, well-proportioned and stylish accommodation throughout, ideally suited for family living. Designed and arranged over two floors, the house affords much charm with notable features including high ceilings, open fireplaces, attractive sash windows and a delightful, first floor exterior balcony boasting fine views across the gardens, neighbouring countryside, and the distant South Downs. The house furthermore offers generous and versatile accommodation including three formal reception rooms and a lovely, vaulted garden room all of which enjoy attractive garden views and five double bedrooms, including two bedroom suites, the principal bedroom having the addition of a dressing room, feeding off a spacious L-shaped landing. In addition to the house there is a detached, brick built triple garage with exterior staircase leading to a workshop/room above.

OUTSIDE The property is approached through private double gates opening to a gravelled drive and turning circle, providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the detached triple garage. The south facing gardens are a delightful feature, principally lawned to the rear and side of the house, with a number of trees, fruit trees, bushes and hedging, giving a high degree of privacy and a sunny aspect. Within the gardens is a brick-built old pump house along with a small pond and also a formal stone terrace wraps around the rear of the property with an attractive, recessed seating area providing shelter from any inclement weather. In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.5 Acres (0.6 ha).

LOCATION The house enjoys a rural, yet accessible location on the outskirts of Petersfield in the heart of the South Downs National Park. Petersfield is an attractive market town offering a wide range of shopping, recreational and leisure facilities and a mainline station to London Waterloo. There are an excellent range of schools in the area including Bedales, Churcher's College and Ditcham Park in the private sector and TPS and Bohunt (Liphook) in the state sector. The local countryside is quite exceptional, providing extensive opportunities for walking, riding and other country pursuits. The larger cities of Winchester and Guildford are within reasonable driving distance, as are the creeks and inlets of the South Coast.
