Conford Road, Conford, Liphook, Hampshire, GU30

A truly special opportunity; a generous detached house with flexible accommodation and an abundance of parking, right on the doorstep of acres of National Trust land at Passfield Common. Situated within the tranquil surrounds of the hamlet of Conford whilst retaining the convenience of easy access to the A3 and Liphook.

There are two gated entrances to this unique family home, built to the owners exacting standards some twenty six years ago. Both approaches being upon quiet private lanes leading to gated driveway access. The principal approach flanks National Trust woodland with electric gates opening into a spacious driveway for 4/5 cars. The 2nd approach, reached via a track owned by the property, opens into a large parking area providing parking opportunities for numerous vehicles. A clever design means that the double garage has electric remote control roller doors to both sides, allowing for convenient garage parking whichever entrance you use. A further detached garage has a cloakroom to the rear. It provides excellent workshop space, with potential for use as a home office or gym, subject to any necessary consents.

We then come to the house; it was considerately designed and built to the highest of standards and has been carefully and lovingly maintained over the last two decades. Inside, more than 2,500 sq ft of accommodation is arranged around a generous reception hall. Front doors on both sides of the house open into this welcoming space, which includes a double coat cupboard, a contemporary shower room and stairs to the first floor.

The principal reception room is approached via double doors and is a calm and spacious sitting room, a central fireplace with gas effect wood burner should be the focal point of the room but your eye is immediately drawn to the stunning elevated view framed by the patio doors which open onto the garden.

A doorway connects the sitting room to the kitchen/breakfast room/sun room, which is arguably a competitor for the principal reception area. The sun room enjoys panoramic garden and woodland views. Its wood burning stove makes it inviting through the colder months, while patio doors open onto the south facing terrace for summer dining, making this the idea spot of host dinner parties and entertain guests. The kitchen has extensive cupboard and drawer storage, a breakfast bar, a sink with waste disposal and filtered drinking water, plus an integrated double oven/grill, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge. A separate dining room, measuring 15’2 x 12’2, offers further space for formal dining and entertaining.

A further “bonus room” would make a great office, play room, music room or home gym, however, perfectly positioned adjacent to the ground floor shower room it is well suited to being an additional double bedroom.

Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room which opens into a greenhouse style extension; perfect for growing fruit and vegetables which fresh produce readily available to the kitchen; it also doubles as a lovely warm spot for mucky dogs to rest after long walks on the common. A store room can also be accessed from this space.

Upstairs, a spacious landing offers access to three generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, as well as a large, walk in, fully shelved airing cupboard. All of the bedrooms are good sized doubles with built in wardrobes, of particular note is the master bedroom which benefits from elevated southerly views, extensive wardrobing and a lovely en suite featuring both bath and freestanding shower unit. The family bathroom also benefits from both a bath and shower offering versatility for a busy household, be that family or visiting guests.

There is a large loft, currently un-boarded as there is extensive eaves storage, but the space is there to be utilised more formally if needed.

The grounds extend to more than a third of an acre, with an elevated position that gives the gardens a wonderful sense of space and privacy, as well as views over woodland and Conford below. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, a south facing patio adjoins the house, leading to a lawn and flower beds that are well stocked with a wide variety of plants offering colour and interest throughout the year, and all of this comes with the aforementioned woodland outlook. Two timber sheds provide practical garden storage.
Chartwell’s setting, adaptable layout and exceptional parking make it a home best appreciated in person to understand all that is on offer, viewing highly recommended.
