House For Sale £625,000
A superb blend of character, charm and modern family living, this detached cottage has so much to offer and sits within surrounding gardens on the edge of acres of wood/heathland at Woolmer Forest.
Believed to date back to the late 19th century featuring exposed brickwork, local Selborne Malmstone, wooden beams and ornate iron works; befitting the charm and character of it's heritage. Originally built as two small cottages Whitehill Cottage has been sympathetically converted and extended, and seamlessly blended with modern conveniences such as double glazing, contemporary bathrooms and wood burning stove to now present as a super family home offering flexible accommodation.
Approached from the road, you enter the property via wooden gates into a courtyard style parking area. To one side sits the house and gardens, to the other a really useful detached garage complex. This outbuilding offers an open barn style garage, home office and two lockable stores.
A beautiful oak front door opens into a vaulted study /snug with feature fireplace and south facing patio door onto the garden. Beyond this is a generous sitting room with wooden flooring and a central fireplace with inset wood burning stove flanked by recessed shelving. There is a box bay with double oak doors out onto a south facing garden, this is believed to have been the entrance to both original cottages.
An inner hall links the remainder of the ground floor accommodation with stairs up to the first floor. To the rear overlooking the westerly gardens is a triple aspect dining room again with wooden flooring, a superb space for entertaining. The kitchen is double aspect with a beamed ceiling and offers a range of cupboard and drawer storage with space for white goods and plenty of work surfaces to work from. From the kitchen is a door to a hidden gem, it reveals steps down to a cellar with both light and power, I’m told an ideal spot to store wine! The final room on the ground floor is a spacious bathroom benefitting from both a bath and double walk in shower.
On the 1st floor are two attractive double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and a 3rd single bedroom. These are complemented by a family bathroom.
Enjoying mature boundaries offering a high degree of privacy the gardens surrounding Whitehill Cottage are lovely. Predominantly laid to lawn with abundant borders; established azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolia and cherry tree amongst others, designed to offer colour and interest throughout the year. In one corner of the lawn is a useful greenhouse. Tucked away on the far side of the house is a paved terrace ideal for al fresco dining, and enjoying the last of the days sun as it dips away to the west.
Located within a sought after position on Forest Road, only moments from woodland walks within Woolmer Forest on South Downs National Park, and an easy walk of shops and services in both Bordon and Whitehill. St Matthew’s primary school is close by with further schools including the newly built Secondary School in the neighbouring town of Bordon. Blackmoor Golf Course, established in 1913, is less than a mile away. It's a traditional heathland course, interspersed with Pine, Birch and Oak trees. Designed by Harry Colt it is a lovely facility to have on the doorstep and as well as affording lovely views, it offers beautiful walking opportunities, as well as the odd round of Golf! Hogmoor Inclosure is close by and ideal for walking (or Park Runs). The Deadwater Valley Nature Reserve also covers much of Whitehill. The village falls on the edge of the South Downs National Park offering some lovely views.
Whitehill is a small village benefitting from a small number of local shops, with a greater range of shops and facilities close by in the neighbouring town of Bordon. The larger towns of Farnham and Petersfield are close by with main line railway stations offering a fast service into London Waterloo (Liphook and Liss offer a stopping service, both approx. 5-6 miles away). Bordon had a long standing history with the British Army, however following their departure in 2015 there has been an extensive programme of development for Whitehill and Bordon.
