Full description
Wakeham Lodge is a character cottage set within the South Downs National Park with southerly rural views across open countryside. Measuring 1754 sq ft, the house has been substantially extended and partially renovated by its current owners, and there remains a genuine opportunity for the next purchaser to complete and personalise it to their own standard. Properties like this, with real bones and a solid start already made, are increasingly hard to find.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers comfortable space for a house of this type. On the ground floor, two reception rooms give flexibility for sitting and dining, while the kitchen/dining room forms a natural social heart to the house overlooking the rear gardens and fields beyond. One of the reception rooms is currently used as a study allowing work from home.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite and has the potential for a Master Suite with dressing room. Bedroom two is a double whilst bedroom three is a single. There is further opportunity to convert a fourth bedroom subject to planning permission. A family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, the south-facing plot catches the sun through the day and the rural outlook across the National Park is a genuine draw. The property is approached via a gravel driveway with parking, with garden space to both the front and rear.
Location
Wakeham Lodge sits within the South Downs National Park between the towns of Midhurst and Petersfield. Petersfield is the nearer of the two for commuters, with a direct mainline service to London Waterloo making the capital straightforwardly accessible. The town also offers a good range of everyday amenities including shops, restaurants and schools. Midhurst, roughly three miles to the west, provides further facilities alongside the independent character the town is known for. Petworth, Haslemere, the Cathedral City of Chichester and Goodwood are all within comfortable driving distance, and the A3 gives ready access to the motorway network and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

Why live in Petersfield?
Petersfield often features on lists of the best places to live and work and was recently voted one of the top 10 most desirable market towns in England; The Guardian went so far as to describe Petersfield as ‘a commuter’s Nirvana, the urban equivalent of a foot rub and a G&T’.
We have a delightful choice of properties in the area, from beautiful character cottages, some dating back 500 years, to coach house style homes and large rural retreats to modern family homes. There’s also a thriving rental market here as the convenient location, attractive setting and abundant facilities make this an excellent base for those working in the wider area or simply wanting a perfect place to raise a family.
