Property description
A property of immense charm and character reputed to be Whitehill's Forge until the middle of the twentieth century and located right on the edge of South Downs National Park with an array of walks, outdoor pursuits and access to some of Hampshires most beautiful countryside.
Description
The accommodation has been thoroughly updated whilst great care has been taken to ensure the retention of important architectural features which include panel and exposed ceilings, wall beams, pine plank doors with Suffolk latches. To the rear of the plot there is a detached brick built barn which was believed to be the Old Forge. This has been modernised with home office use in mind. The accommodation offers just under 1900 sq ft with four double bedrooms, a 31'9 x 14'11 main reception room. There are two further receptions, cellar, utility room and two bathrooms. Adjacent to this fantastic home is driveway parking for several cars and a detached garage.
Location
The property is situated on the southern skirts of Whitehill with local shops being within walking distance whilst town centre amenities are available in Farnham, Bordon, Petersfield and comprehensive village amenities in Liphook. The latter boasts a mainline station servicing London. The area to the east of Whitehill includes several hundreds of acres of woodland and heathland providing the opportunity for scenic walks. Golf courses are to be found at Whitehill (Blackmoor) and Liphook (two courses), Hindhead, Petersfield and Farnham.
