Rake

LOCATION: The property enjoys an elevated and much sought-after position, just down from Oliver's Piece in Rake and so boasting breath-taking views across the vale. Rake is an established setting on the outskirts of Liss Village within the South Downs National Park, and midway between Petersfield and Liphook (Both about 5 miles drive). Each offer mainline train stations and a good selection of shops and services. Close to open countryside providing miles of walking, this sought-after semi-rural area is highly accessible with A3 access within a short drive, connecting London to the south coast, the Hindhead tunnel having significantly improved road access to London and the suburbs. Liss Village Centre is just over a mile away and has a thriving community and shops provide for all day-to-day needs. There is an excellent array of highly regarded schooling in this area, with a good choice of high-performing state and private education available.

DESCRIPTION: Spectacular views, detached and in a non-estate position, plus scope to make even more of the outlook. This type of property is sure to have a broad appeal and will no doubt find favour with those who appreciate a fine vista.

Set back from the road and well screened by a high hedge at the front. The approach is via a gravelled driveway which provides easy parking and turning space for several vehicles.

There is a covered porch area by the main entrance and a generous entrance hall beyond, which provides easy access to the kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room and bathroom. There is a further inner hallway which leads to the study/bedroom 3 and stairs to the first floor landing.

Both the main reception rooms are well-proportioned and feature bays which bring in more natural light and which add to the character of the property. The sitting room also features double doors to the rear, which lead out to a patio area and there is a working fireplace that makes for a lovely cosy environment when the weather draws in.

Upstairs there are two generous bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and with the main bedroom also featuring that wonderful panorama. There is a also a separate W.C. on this floor.

Outside, there is a small area of lawn at the front, beyond the driveway and then otherwise the property is well-screened from its immediate neighbours, with a good degree of privacy. A gate at one side provides access past the property, where there is also an additional external store room, and then to the rear garden where the views are magnificent. This is a wonderful area to bask in the sunshine while taking in the glorious scenery, which will of course evolve with the changing seasons. This attractive area of garden is more formally arranged and then it extends down the hillside into lush vegetation, where there is scope to further develop this space.

The property is a detached, freehold chalet bungalow of traditional construction. Mains services include electricity and water. There is private drainage and the heating is oil-fired. The local authority is Chichester District Council and the council tax is band E. The EPC rating is Band E.
