Gatcombe House, Heath Road, Petersfield, GU31

Gatcombe House is an elegant Victorian home situated on Heath Road, within walking distance of both the town centre and the railway station. The house is set back from the road, screened by a graceful tree and shrubs which give it a wonderful sense of privacy. Entering through the front door, there is a welcoming feeling as you step into the hall. The ground floor accommodation flows very well throughout and consists of a comfortable, dual-aspect living room which enjoys natural light throughout the day while also boasting an original marble fireplace, now housing a wood burner. Across the hallway is a generous family room/study with a bay window overlooking the front of the property. The kitchen is bright and airy thanks to the French doors that give immediate access onto the patio area. The current owners have planning permission for a six metre rear extension to create an orangery and redevelop the kitchen. A sizeable utility room providing ample storage space and a pet grooming room completes the ground floor. Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you will find three large double bedrooms. The delightful main bedroom overlooks the garden and steps lead down to an en suite shower room and separate WC. The remaining two double bedrooms share the family bathroom. Rising to the second floor there are three further rooms, all nicely proportioned. Two are currently used as bedrooms while the third room provides a fantastic office space away from the main run of the house. Each of these rooms benefits from skylights that give views down into the garden and across the rooftops of the house.

Petersfield is located within the South Downs National Park and offers a comprehensive range of day-to-day shops, and twice a week the town still enjoys a traditional market held in the town square. Petersfield mainline railway station is on the Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo line and the nearby A3 gives access to Guildford, the M25, London and the South Coast. The area is also well-served with leisure and sport facilities, bars, coffee shops and restaurants and a number of highly regarded schools including Petersfield Infant School, Churchers College, The Petersfield School and Bedales.

To the rear is a large south-west facing garden complete with a generous patio area and a separate space for barbecues. Trees line the left side of the garden, ensuring privacy, while flower beds and a shed along the remaining sides enclose a sizeable lawn perfect for sun bathers and aspiring footballers alike. A single garage stands on the right side of the house and can also be accessed from the garden patio.
