Durford Wood Estate is approximately 300 acres of which 30 acres are given over to communal use. Communications are excellent, with the A3 being approximately 2.2 miles away, providing access to London and the south coast, as well as the M25 and the international airports of Heathrow and Gatwick. Southampton Airport, within 28 miles, is also conveniently located to the south west. There are excellent schools in the area including Bedales at Steep and Churcher’s College at Petersfield, as well as St Edmund’s and Amesbury preparatory schools in Hindhead and Highfield and Brookham Schools in Liphook. There is also a wide range of sporting facilities including polo at Cowdray, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, sailing at Chichester and Bosham and many miles of walking and riding in the surrounding countryside. Golf courses can be found at Petersfield, Liphook and Blackmoor. For the arts, the Chichester Festival Theatre can be found approximately 19 miles away. Description Believed to be built for King George V's surgeon in 1928, Long Durford is understood to have been designed by the 'Arts & Crafts' architect Gerald Unsworth. The property is a fine example of a country house in the neo-Georgian style, with a parapet roof, arched pediment porch, curved window heads and a circular date stone. Internally, Long Durford benefits from large well-proportioned rooms, many of which enjoy a southerly aspect with views over the extensive grounds to the South Downs. Of particular note is the exceptionally spacious and light reception hall and elegant staircase rising to the galleried landing. The property has undergone a significant extension by the current owners. There is now a fantastic indoor swimming pool complex which includes a gym, conservatory, shower room and large indoor heated swimming pool with French doors leading out into the south west facing garden. Beyond this new complex is a triple garage and plant room.
