The Property
Sandhill House is an attractive, Grade II listed detached house surrounded by stunning gardens. It was refurbished, redecorated and extended by the current owners and consent granted to convert the period stable block into a two storey annexe by way of an excellent roof conversion. The gardens have been enhanced and scrupulously maintained and provide a beautiful electric-gated driveway and secure setting. The front door leads into a dining hall at the foot of the open staircase and also to the drawing room and sitting room with wine cellar under a second staircase. The kitchen, more recently extended to incorporate a large dining table and sofa, has a fantastic southerly aspect and access to the garden terrace. The kitchen connects with the dining hall, the boot room and study/snug with woodburning stove. The boot room provides the day-to-day access to the house with good capacity for dogs, boots, coats etc, perfect for an energetic family. Upstairs the main bedroom enjoys lovely views across the adjacent fields and a walk in dressing cupboard that used to provide access to the bedroom’s bathroom. The bathroom has more storage and wonderful roll top copper bath. A second large double also at the southern end of the house has almost exclusive use of the adjacent bathroom. The main bedroom is similar in size to the second and third double bedrooms and there is a further double and two single bedrooms which are split by a stud wall. In addition to the shower room that has recently been refreshed, there is a charming attic room that the family use as a playroom and for storage.

Gardens and Grounds
Outside there is a period coach house and stable block which has been adapted into a very handy utility space, open bay garage and store. It houses the oil-fired boiler for the house and it has planning consent to be converted into annexe. The plans are available on the SDNP website under, SDNP/21/03357/LIS. and provide for a studio space, utility, bathroom and storage. Upstairs the space is more open plan and ideal as a home office. There is a further period outbuilding, a charming garden store, which could provide a fantastic occupiable space, subject to listed building consent. The gardens are very well stocked and well maintained with deep and elaborate flower beds. There is a kitchen garden with raised herb beds and a high specification green house to help cultivate and propagate a very well-established kitchen garden and vegetable gardens.

The Location
The towns of Midhurst and Petersfield are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Petersfield provides a fast service to London Waterloo. Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, Goodwood, Pulborough and Liphook, motor racing at the Goodwood
circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast. There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area for walking and riding.
