Stylish cottage of character with beautifully landscaped gardens.

The Property
Sages is an attractive and beautifully appointed brick and flint property of much character, which has been significantly enhanced by the current owners to provide comfortable, light and stylish living throughout. Arranged over two floors, with the majority of accommodation on the ground floor, the house offers flexibility and practicality in its layout with particular notable features including two sumptuous reception rooms, a lovely cottage style kitchen/dining room, two bedroom suites located at separate ends of the house, the principal bedroom offering a steam room to the ensuite bathroom and delightful country views across neighbouring fields to the front from many of the rooms.

Location
Enjoying a lovely country position in the heart of the South Downs National Park, between Petersfield and Winchester, Sages is located on a quiet lane enjoying a lovely rural outlook to the front. Privett is a pretty hamlet which forms part of the Parish of Froxfield, where there is a village primary school, village hall, church and a shop/post office. The nearest village facilities are available a short drive away in West Meon and for a good range of shopping, sporting and leisure facilities including Waitrose and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo, Petersfield is the nearest centre 6.9 miles away. The larger cities of Winchester and Guildford are also within reasonable driving distance as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. The surrounding countryside is crisscrossed by a number of footpaths and bridleways providing great scope for both riding and walking.
There is an excellent range of educational facilities in the area including Bedales, Churcher’s College and Ditcham Park School in the private sector and TPS and Bohunt in the state sector, together with further choices in Winchester and Alresford.

Outside
The property offers private parking areas on either side of the house, both accessed via double wooden gates, with the larger providing access to a double garage and private courtyard garden. The gardens to the house are quite exceptional, having been beautifully designed, thoughtfully planted and creatively landscaped by the current owners to evoke a journey of colour and wonderment through differing areas, offering a sense of calm, reflection and intrigue which include formal entertaining spaces, woodland walks, a privately situated pond and an immaculately arranged kitchen flower garden. In addition, there is an Alitex greenhouse, various outbuildings including a polytunnel and a lovely studio/office located above the garages. In all, the delightful, well stocked gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.95 Acres (0.78 ha).
