This distinctive detached family residence, affectionately known as 'The Cottage', is steeped in Arts and Crafts charm and offers significant potential for renovation and expansion. With lapsed planning permission already in place, the opportunity to reconfigure and enlarge this property presents a compelling investment prospect for any buyer looking to enhance its value.
The current layout spans two floors, providing ample space for family living. The ground floor features a generous 31' sitting/dining room complete with a log burner that opens directly onto the garden, alongside a snug area with another log burner, creating inviting spaces for relaxation. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright and airy, complemented by a utility room and a downstairs bathroom for convenience. Upstairs hosts five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities, all enjoying views over the attractive gardens.
Situated within the desirable Durford Wood estate amid approximately 300 acres of countryside, The Cottage is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to both the house and its detached double garage. The outdoor space includes an entertaining area featuring an outdoor kitchen/bar and an above-ground swimming pool with a sun deck, surrounded by various outbuildings such as sheds and greenhouses. The expansive gardens—a highlight of the property—boast mature trees and shrubs across around 1.6 acres, offering seclusion and play areas for children.
Beyond its boundaries, Durford Wood benefits from easy access to Petersfield and Liss while being nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park—ideal for those seeking community amenities coupled with nature's tranquility. With local schools nearby and good transport links to larger towns like Winchester and Chichester, this dwelling combines rural charm with modern convenience.
