Detached house for sale in Liphook, Hampshire GU30

Launch day Saturday 20th July

Superb detached family home that has been remodelled and extended on the ground floor to provide extensive family accommodation. Further enhanced by attractive landscaping of the generous rear garden. All within a highly desirable cul de sac walking distance of the train station and village centre.

Sitting towards the back of a quiet cul de sac and opposite an attractive green/copse there is a definite rural feel to this home, despite it being close enough to the village to benefit from all the shops and services on offer.

Driveway parking within the front garden leads up to a handsome Oak framed porch and the front door which opens into a substantial and welcoming reception hall, a central hub of the house.

One of the stand out features of this home is the beautiful rear garden, and across the back of the house are three sets of wide bi-folding doors to take advantage of the views. The first of these are in the sitting room, a generous double aspect room with three sky lights, allowing natural light to flood the room.

The two other bi-folding doors can be found in the open plan dining / family room. This is an exceptional space extending some 34' and offering flexibility with numerous options for arranging furniture. This room also benefits from an air-conditioning unit to help survive the hot summer days we increasingly enjoy. It is also open plan to the kitchen which is a contemporary, stylish room with a large island incorporating a breakfast bar, commanding a central position. There is extensive drawer and cupboard storage in addition to numerous integrated appliances.

Behind the dining/family area is a utility room, storage room and garage. Finally on the ground floor there is a front aspect office and a cloakroom.

On the first floor is a generous landing with space for a further stairway into the loft if someone was looking for scope to do a loft conversion (it is believed 2 bedrooms could be created in the loft).

Currently there are four spacious bedrooms, all beautifully decorated with panelling to the two double bedrooms overlooking the rear garden, and the master bedroom benefitting from an en suite shower room. The other bedrooms share the family bathroom.

The care, detail and attention that has gone into transforming this home really has to be seen to be appreciated. Further expansion is possible with planning permission granted to extend the first floor over the garage, please ask for more details.

The gardens are one of the stand out features of this home, understandably when you realise the Close used to be an arboretum, offering an expansive space in which to play, rest or entertain in privacy. A large paved terrace wraps around the whole of the rear and side of the house, with floor levels blending seamlessly through the bi-folding doors to offer a great inclusive space where “indoor and outdoor” unite together. The remainder of the garden is largely laid to lawn with two further feature patio spots further down. There are mature well stocked borders and newer raised sleeper planters edging the terrace.
To the front of the house is an open level lawn with driveway parking to the side where an ev charging point can be found.

Hollycombe Close is a quiet cul de sac of substantial houses ideally situated a short walk from the main line railway station, and village centre shops, pubs and amenities.

Liphook itself is a large well serviced village on the Hampshire/West Sussex borders with excellent commuter links via the A3 and mainline train line from Portsmouth to Waterloo. The village grew out of the adjoining Hamlet of Bramshott due to its prominence as a coaching stopping point and has since grown to overtake it. The area retains much of its rural charm in addition to modern improvements such as Sainsburys supermarket and "The Living Room Cinema"; an independent cinema offering a home from home experience right in the heart of the village. Liphook's centre boasts a diverse range of further shopping amenities, pubs and restaurants. Old Thorns Country Club (which has a luxury Spa and golf course designed by Peter Aliss) is on the outskirts of the village approaching Griggs Green.

There are many places to enjoy beautiful countryside walks including Bramshott Common, Longmoor Ranges and the delightful water meadows in Radford Park.

Schooling is excellent with both private and state provision. Liphook Infant and Junior School achieved Outstanding in their Ofsted inspection report in 2022, a super achievement for a school in the heart of the community. Whilst Bohunt Secondary School/Academy also has an excellent ofsted rating and a raft of awards and accolades including tes Secondary School of the Year in 2014, and more recently opened a linked Sixth Form College which is thriving. Regarding schooling, there is an exceptional choice of schools in the area, including Brookham and Highfield, plus The Royal Senior School, St Edmund’s, The Royal Junior School and Amesbury at Hindhead. Other schools include Charterhouse at Godalming, Barrow Hills and King Edward’s at Witley, and Bedales and Cranleigh School slightly further afield.
