Property Summary
Welcome to Churchfield, an exceptional detached family home occupying an enviable position within the highly sought-after South Downs village of Hawkley. Set within an incredibly generous plot of circa 0.8 acre, this impressive home is approached via a private driveway opening onto an extensive parking forecourt, with a central turning island and access to a detached triple-bay car port. Churchfield commands a wonderful central position within its grounds, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy together with far-reaching views across the immediately adjoining countryside, yet remains conveniently positioned on the edge of this picturesque village.
Beautifully remodelled, updated and substantially extended by the current owners, the property offers in excess of 3,500 sq ft of exceptionally spacious and thoughtfully planned accommodation arranged over two floors. The result is a wonderfully versatile family home combining generous proportions with an excellent sense of light and space, while offering considerable flexibility to adapt the accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyles and requirements.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, dining and family room. Comprehensively fitted in an attractive traditional farmhouse style, the kitchen provides an extensive range of cabinetry, while the generous proportions allow clearly defined dining and informal sitting areas. A striking expanse of glazing creates a fabulous outlook across the rear garden, while doors open directly onto the terrace, providing a seamless connection between the principal living accommodation and the outside space.
The substantial sitting room provides another particularly impressive reception space, featuring a herringbone wooden floor and a partially vaulted ceiling which adds to the wonderful sense of scale. A log-burning stove set within a striking brick fireplace creates an excellent focal point, while further doors lead directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, making this an equally inviting room throughout both the summer and winter months.
The accommodation provides the potential for up to six bedrooms arranged across the two floors, although its versatility allows the rooms to be configured entirely around individual requirements. The ground floor could, for example, provide four bedrooms alongside the principal reception areas, or alternatively incorporate a family room, home office or additional reception space. A separate utility room and beautifully appointed shower room further complement the ground-floor accommodation.
A striking centrally positioned staircase divides at first-floor level, leading to two superb bedroom suites. The generous guest bedroom benefits from its own en suite facilities, while the spectacular principal suite occupies an impressive position above the kitchen. This exceptional bedroom enjoys a wonderful sense of space, with the dramatic glazing providing fabulous views across the gardens and towards the surrounding fields. Excellent storage and an exceptionally spacious en suite complete what is a particularly impressive principal bedroom suite.
Outside, Churchfield is every bit as impressive. The property sits beautifully within its expansive grounds, with gardens extending around all sides and providing a superb feeling of openness and seclusion. The extensive driveway and parking forecourt, arranged around an attractive central island, provide ample parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the detached triple-bay car port.
The gardens themselves are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature planting and a variety of thoughtfully created areas designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A wonderful paved terrace provides an excellent setting for entertaining and al fresco dining, connecting beautifully with both the kitchen and sitting room and creating a natural extension of the internal living space. The combination of mature boundaries, established planting and adjoining countryside affords an excellent degree of privacy and provides a wonderfully tranquil backdrop to the house.
Hawkley is one of East Hampshire's most desirable rural villages, surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering a quintessential village setting within the South Downs landscape. Its network of country lanes, footpaths and surrounding open countryside make it particularly appealing to those seeking a rural lifestyle, while the larger nearby communities of Liss and Petersfield provide a comprehensive range of everyday amenities and transport connections. The combination of countryside, community and accessibility has long made this picturesque corner of East Hampshire an especially sought-after place to call home.
Offered for sale with the additional benefit of no onward chain, Churchfield represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented family home enjoying exceptional accommodation, expansive grounds and a superb rural setting. This is a property which genuinely needs to be seen to be fully appreciated, and we would strongly recommend contacting Homes in Petersfield for further information or to arrange your appointment to view.
