Burhunt Farm is an expansive, historic country estate set within the South Downs National Park, offered as a substantial family home with extensive ancillary buildings. The early 19th‑century farmhouse and sensitively converted 16th‑century barn provide flexible living: the main house has generous reception rooms, a double‑sized drawing room with open fireplaces and south‑facing terraces, while the restored barn and stables offer guest accommodation, entertaining space and proven event use. A wine cellar, underfloor heating in the barn and thoughtful heritage restoration are notable quality features.
The estate sits in about 4.21 acres of landscaped grounds including lawns, specimen trees, a small orchard, vegetable garden, greenhouse and a swimming pool at the heart of a courtyard. There is a separate restored three‑bed barn, double garage and further outbuildings; an existing planning permission covers conversion of the redundant hop kiln to a three‑bed annexe (Ref: SDNP/52321). The layout suits multigenerational living or regular entertaining, with easy access to footpaths, the Noar Hill nature reserve and nearby village amenities.
Important practical points are set out plainly: all buildings are Grade II listed, which preserves character but will complicate alterations and repairs; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is very expensive. The property is freehold, has off‑street parking and is approached by a gravel drive. The location is secluded yet within reach of Alton and Petersfield rail connections and local schools, making it viable for families who value rural privacy and heritage living.
This estate will suit buyers seeking a characterful country home with scope for sensitive improvement, commercial or event use subject to planning and listing constraints, or those who want substantial outbuildings and equestrian potential. Buyers should budget for upkeep, listed‑building maintenance and improvements to modern communications.
