Full description

Set within over 4.5-acresof private grounds, including formal gardens and paddocks, Coast & Country by Henry Adams present Lords, an impressive and versatile detached family home sat in an elevated position, with the added benefit of a detached double garage and self-contained one-bedroom annexe above. Located in the highly regarded village of Sheet, the property combines space, flexibility and an outstanding semi-rural lifestyle, all within easy reach of Petersfield.

Originally built in the 1930s, the house has been thoughtfully modernised and extended over time, resulting in well-proportioned accommodation that remains sympathetic to its origins while offering the practicalities expected of modern family living. The principal house provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged over two floors, with a layout that flows comfortably for both everyday life and entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies a large kitchen/dining room overlooking the garden and paddocks, ideal for family gatherings and informal entertaining. There are three reception rooms offering flexibility for sitting, dining, home working or playroom use. The accommodation is bright and well balanced, with views and access onto the surrounding gardens that reinforce the strong connection to the outdoors.

The detached double garage incorporates a split-level one-bedroom annexe, complete with its own kitchen/breakfast room, living space and bathroom. This offers excellent potential for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or ancillary use such as Air BnB, a home office or studio, subject to requirements.

Outside, the grounds are a particular feature. The gardens immediately surrounding the house provide privacy which is ideal for enjoying the 6-person Jacuzzi that is included, while the adjoining paddocks extend the landholding to over 4.5-acres, making the property especially appealing to those seeking space for livestock, ponies or a more rural lifestyle.

Set above School Lane in a commanding position, the property is approached via a generous private driveway, providing ample parking and access to the garage.

Lords is located within the popular village of Sheet, well known for its strong community, excellent local schooling and countryside setting. The Queen’s Head public house is within a 0.3-mile walk, while Petersfield town centre and mainline railway station (London Waterloo) are easily accessible, offering a rare balance of village life and commuter convenience.

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.

One of the major attractions for families is the choice of world-class schools – The Petersfield School is rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and Bohunt School at nearby Liphook is one of the top performing state schools in the country. In the private sector, Churcher’s College and Bedales are located in the town, while Ditcham Park School is just to the southeast.

We have cosmopolitan range of shops, restaurants and cafés, with most major retailers represented. The Petersfield Market is held twice a week in The Square and a Hampshire Farmer’s Market is held on the first Sunday of every month. We also have many sports facilities, including two golf clubs, the Taro Leisure Centre and the Petersfield Open Air Swimming Pool, which, despite being open to the elements, is always heated to an average of 27 degrees.

But what really sets Petersfield apart is the beautiful countryside and its pretty villages. These include Selborne with its post office, primary school and choice of two pubs, Steep Village, which sits on wooded slopes known as The Hangers and was once home to Sir Alec Guinness, Buriton Village, which sits between Petersfield and the Queen Elizabeth Country Park and Rogate and Rake to the east within in the Rother Valley.
