Summary - LITTLE SLADE SLADE LANE ROGATE PETERSFIELD GU31 5BN
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious historic home with panoramic South Downs views and large gardens.
Grade II listed thatched cottage dating to circa 1600
A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage sympathetically extended to provide nearly 3,800 sq ft of flexible living in the South Downs National Park. The property combines original 16th-century features — exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace — with a dramatic architect-designed extension, vaulted principal suite and a sizable detached barn with garage, studio and office. The south-facing gardens and elevated panoramic views across rolling countryside are standout assets for outdoor living and privacy.
The house sits in approximately 0.64 acres of mature grounds including terraces, lawns, specimen trees and meadowlike paddocks, approached via a private driveway with ample parking and turning. The barn offers practical space now (garage, gym/studio and office) and scope for ancillary accommodation subject to planning and listed-building consents. Flood risk is nil and the area benefits from very low crime and strong local schools, while Petersfield is about a 10-minute drive for rail and town amenities.
Buyers should note important liabilities: the Grade II listing will complicate alterations and maintenance, and older thatch and timber construction typically carries higher upkeep costs. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — relevant for remote working — and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property was built circa 1600 and, despite modernisation, will require ongoing conservation-sensitive maintenance.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, private country retreat with generous living space and significant outdoor amenity, and those prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities. Investors or those planning substantial reconfiguration must factor in permissions and potential costs before proceeding.
