St. Patricks Lane, Liss, GU33

Full description

***VIEWINGS TO START FROM MONDAY 21st SEPTEMBER***

Heatherbrae sits quietly on a quiet lane between Liss and Rake, a substantial family house that has been comprehensively renovated and remodelled by its current owners. The investment is visible from the moment you arrive: electric gates open onto a wide gravelled driveway framed by mature planting, the house presenting a clean contemporary face, its traditional brick elevations complemented by vertical cladding that gives it a distinctly modern edge. Planning permission is also in place for an oak barn/car port on the concrete area of the driveway, offering further scope for those who need it.

The ‘Tom Howley’ kitchen is the centrepiece of the ground floor; hand-built and bespoke, it runs to over 28 feet and combines stone countertops, considered carpentry, underfloor heating and a full complement of fitted appliances — including a Quooker tap supplying hot, boiling, cold, filtered and sparkling water — with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. In summer, the terrace becomes a natural extension of the room. It is the kind of space that stops a viewing.

Beyond the kitchen, the ground floor offers three well-proportioned reception rooms, two which look south over the rear garden. The sitting room is a comfortable, light-filled space with an open fireplace. The family room, at nearly 20 feet square, offers real flexibility — equally suited to everyday family life or more formal entertaining, with a wood-burning stove. A study, boot room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

On the lower ground floor, a substantial utility and storage cellar-room connects to the double garage, providing the kind of practical infrastructure that a house of this size demands.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across two floors. The master bedroom is a generous double with an en suite shower room, and four further bedrooms — three of them comfortably double — serve the rest of the house well. The family bathroom has been fully refitted. The second-floor bedrooms sit within the roofline with some reduced headroom to the eaves, though the rooms themselves are well-proportioned.

OUTSIDE

The approach through the electric gates sets a tone the rest of the grounds carry through. A large, gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles alongside the double garage. The property also benefits from a right of access over a private driveway to the rear, a right which passes with the title.

To the rear, the garden is well-landscaped and thoughtfully divided: a substantial stone terrace runs directly off the kitchen, purpose-built for outdoor dining and designed to make the most of the sliding glass doors. An Owl Tree sculpture adds a charming, characterful touch to the grounds. Beyond, a wide-open lawn stretches out towards the boundary, with open views over neighbouring paddocks and the wooded hills of the South Downs beyond. The plot extends to approximately 0.7 acres in total.

LOCATION

Heatherbrae sits on a quiet country lane midway between the villages of Rake and Liss, within the South Downs National Park. Liss village is 1.3 miles distant and provides day-to-day amenities alongside a mainline station with direct services to London Waterloo. Rake offers a school, pub, garden centre and shop. Petersfield, 5.6 miles south, is the principal market town for the area with a wider range of independent shops, restaurants and schooling. Liphook lies 4.3 miles to the north.

The A3 is approximately five minutes by car, placing Guildford within 22 miles and central London within an hour by train. The area is well served by schools at all levels, including Bedales, Churchers College, Highfield, Bohunt and TPS. For those who spend their weekends outdoors, the South Downs National Park provides immediate access to walking, riding and cycling across some of Hampshire's finest countryside.

SERVICES

Mains water and electricity, private drainage via a Klargester treatment plant (installed 4–5 years ago), LPG heating via an underground tank, alarm system and security cameras. All windows, doors and the entrance lantern carry a 10-year guarantee.
