Gledswood Cottage is a pretty detached period cottage, formerly the stables to Gledswood House, tucked away at the end of a private sweeping drive. The house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a sitting room off the kitchen, arranged over two floors to suit flexible family living. The principal reception rooms at the front feel formal and characterful, while the garden-facing sitting room provides a more informal family hub.
Outside, the property sits in a substantial plot of approximately 0.69 acres within the South Downs National Park. The garden is predominantly lawned with mature borders, hedges and trees, creating a private, parkland-like setting. A detached double garage and private parking add everyday convenience, with easy road links to Liss and Petersfield and rail services to London Waterloo.
The house retains historic features but also has clear updating and running-cost considerations. Heating is dual fuel (solid fuel plus mineral) to radiator-fed boilers and the building fabric is likely uninsulated stone/brickwork. There is private drainage and broadband speeds are slow — all practical points to factor into future refurbishment budgets.
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking countryside character and a generous plot who are happy to manage improvement works. The layout provides good family space, though note the fourth bedroom is accessed via a separate staircase through the bathroom, which may suit occasional use or offer conversion possibilities. Council tax is high; prospective purchasers should allow for ongoing maintenance and modernisation costs.
