The layout of the property can be seen in the floorplan which offers a great deal of flexibility and should one desire, could easily be split to create ancillary accommodation as it has been in the past. Outside, the house is approached by a gravel drive with parking for a number of cars. To the right of the house is a former stable block which would make an ideal home office and there's a separate detached summer house and garage. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature borders and shrubs. The position is truly exceptional, with fantastic south-facing views over surrounding farmland and a viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate this exquisite spot. Services. Mains electricity, private drainage, private water supply (from a local farm) and oil fired central heating. Location: The property is situated in a rural position towards the southern fringe of The South Downs National Park, just to the south-east of the pretty village of Chalton where there is a popular pub, The Red Lion.

Further amenities can be found in Petersfield, approximately 7 miles to the north where there is a bustling town centre.

The town has many active clubs and societies with golf available at Petersfield and Liphook, horse and motor racing at Goodwood, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing along the South Coast.
