Description

A magnificent Edwardian country house of over 8,500 sq ft, privately situated at the end of a long drive with over 29 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
At the end of its own long drive with just over 29 acres of land, to north of Petersfield, West Downs House is a superbly handsome Edwardian country house that occupies an exceptionally convenient location in an astonishing situation.

A significant family home with an impressive façade and generous accommodation, this outstanding Edwardian property is a superb example of its type and whilst in need to modernisation, it has been enlarged and extended over the generations to provide extensive accommodation including immensely charming formal reception rooms and delightful family spaces.

Holland Green architects have provided some insights as to how the house might be modernised as well as looking at potential budgets and timeframes, please folow the link below:

These include a particularly fine drawing room, an elegant dining room and superb study. In addition, the house benefits from a modern kitchen/breakfast room, utility spaces a billiard/games room as well as a internal two storey flat.

The house is approached via its own long drive and is surrounded by formal gardens and grounds which include a swimming pool, tennis court and separate vegetable garden. Beyond this are a number of paddocks, a stable block and significant areas of mature woodland. A semi-detached cottage, on the boundary, is available by separate negotiation.

This is a scarce example of a substantial Edwardian family home both in a rather special location and a delightful setting.

ABOUT THIS AREA
The house is located a short distance from the village of Sheet with its local pub and parish church. To the southwest is the town of Petersfield. The town centre offers great shopping, a variety of restaurants, wine bars, pubs and supermarkets.

For golfers there are excellent courses at Petersfield, Hankley Common and Hindhead. For sailors the Hayling Island Sailing Club is almost directly south at the end of the A3.

Petersfield Train Station is 3.1 miles away, with a fast service to London Waterloo in just over an hour.

The surrounding countryside provides great opportunities for walking, riding, and outdoor activities. Locally there are a number of excellent private and state schools. Transport links are excellent, with the A3 offering access to the national motorway network via the M25 and junction 10 as well as the south coast. There is good access to Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton airports.
