Nyewood

A grand and elegant country house with separate cottage set in beautiful, landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 8.3 acres (3.38 ha) enjoying exceptional south facing panoramic views towards the South Downs.

The Property - An attractive and elegant Victorian country house of much charm and character offering brick and stone facing elevations, incorporating three large imposing gabled bay windows to the southern facade, beneath a pitched and tiled roof. Arranged on two floors, the main house offers a sense of grandeur, being the majority portion of a former country house which was divided in two during the last century, with large rooms and high ceilings ideally suited for family living and entertaining purposes. Offering comfortable, well proportioned and versatile accommodation throughout, the house affords many wonderful features including open fireplaces, attractive large sash windows and wonderfully light south facing rooms with outstanding uninterrupted views across its own gardens and grounds towards the distant South Downs. In addition to the main house there is an attractive, self-contained, two bedroomed Annexe, accessed from the kitchen garden, which also enjoys its own privacy.

Situation - Enjoying a wonderfully private, rural position on the fringe of the village of Nyewood, which is a thriving community located between Petersfield and Midhurst in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The nearby villages of Rogate and South Harting both offer a shop, pub, post office, primary school and church. The larger towns of Petersfield and Midhurst offer a more comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities and a mainline station at Petersfield serving both London and the south coast. The Petersfield area has an excellent range of schools including Bedales, Churcher’s College, Ditcham Park School and in the state sector, TPS, whilst Bohunt, Churcher’s Junior and Highfield and Bookham are located in Liphook. The A3 provides good regional transport links to the M25 and beyond and the larger centres of Winchester, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance, as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast.

Outside - The property is approached via a long sweeping tree lined drive leading to an expansive parking and turning area and the impressive entrance to the house. The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property having been beautifully designed and landscaped offering various areas to relax and enjoy which include a rear terrace ideally suited for outside entertaining, spacious formal lawns abutting a ha-ha, well stocked mature floral beds, light woodland, a delightful private vegetable garden housing an Alitex greenhouse, attractive tiered water garden, gravelled boules court, resplendent rose clad arbours and a pergola rose walk amongst many other delightful features. At the eastern fringe of the garden is a tennis court, swimming pool and pool house and beyond the main formal, lawns and ha-ha is a further paddock / meadow housing a Field Shelter with storage room. The paddock is fully enclosed, gated and has a water supply. In all, the wonderful south facing and incredibly private gardens and grounds which enjoy mesmeric, uninterrupted panoramic views across neighbouring countryside towards the South Downs, extend to approximately 8.3 Acres (3.38 ha).
