cowdray Park P Petersfield HG indhead Liphook Cowdray s Harbour and the south coast The Old House Dating back, we understand, to 1729, The Old House is a perfect example of a beautifully presented Georgian village house, set in the heart of the much coveted village of Lodsworth and enjoying views of the South Downs.

The current owners have lovingly and sympathetically renovated The Old House to its former glory, retaining much of the original charm and character, such as open fires, wooden panelling in much of the house and sash windows with shutters throughout providing plenty of light. Further extensive work carried out includes a new roof, re-pointing of the main house and outbuildings, rewiring and replumbing.

The generous reception rooms with high ceilings are accessed off the impressive panelled reception hall with flagstone floor.O f particular note is the stunning bespoke Fraser James kitchen/breakfast room with corian work tops, Miele appliances and Aga. The dining room adjoins the kitchen via a passage with built-in units and a china cupboard.

The addition of the David Salisbury orangery off the kitchen/breakfast room creates a marvellous entertaining area. Double doors from the orangery open to the rear terrace, where views over the gardens can be enjoyed. Also accessed from the kitchen is the cellar with gym and also the fitted utility room which leads out to the front drive.

Also of note are the morning room and drawing room, both enjoying south-westerly aspects. The drawing room has two doors which lead to the rear and side terraces.

From the reception hall the magnificent original wooden staircase leads to the panelled landing on the first floor.H ere, the master bedroom suite comprises a bathroom with heated stone flooring, marble tops and a wet room style shower, with the fitted dressing room accessed from the bathroom. Two further large double suites make up the first floor, both featuring painted wooden panelling and en suite bathrooms. A further staircase from the landing leads to the second floor, which boasts tremendous views towards the South Downs. To the south and west, two bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom, while to the north east, three further bedrooms are accessed from a separate landing and share a bathroom.

The Cottage The detached single storey cottage has been recently renovated and comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room and kitchen, and makes ideal secondary or staff accommodation. There is a private area of garden and a cobbled courtyard to the front.

The Barn The attractive detached barn sits between the house and cottage, has a plant room to one end and vaulted garage to the other. The barn has lapsed planning consent to convert to ancillary accommodation.

Gardens The immaculate landscaped gardens are undoubtedly an outstanding feature of The Old House and complement the quality throughout the house.

The house is approached through electric wrought iron gates to a cobbled driveway which leads in turn to the barn, cottage and parking, flanked by immaculate borders. Off the cobbled drive to the right is a gravelled parking area to the front of the house.

Between the cottage and barn is the swimming pool, which is surrounded by an extensive terrace and entertaining area with pizza oven. This area occupies an elevated position in the grounds and is well screened by wooden fencing and hedging.

Immaculate formal gardens lead directly from the sun terrace to the rear of the house. These gardens are mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders and mature specimen trees, bounded to the north by the old garden wall.

Services The owner has informed us that there is mains water, electricity and drainage together with oil-fired central heating.
