Venthams Farmhouse is an elegant unlisted period property set in a commanding position with stunning views over its own pastures and beyond.
Extending to over 7,000 sq ft across four floors, the farmhouse provides flexible accommodation ideal for entertaining and family living. Whilst requiring some modernisation, being unlisted it has remarkable potential. The ground floor with largely original wooden flooring features an impressive entrance hall leading into a spacious central hall with a striking wooden staircase and panelling. From this hall, three generous reception rooms have open fireplaces, being the dining and drawing rooms, and family room.
In addition are the kitchen, study and domestic spaces which have huge potential to be combined to create a large family kitchen. The 10 bedrooms provide ample space for guests or multi-generational living. The cellar includes a wine cellar and laundry room as well as practical storage.
The glorious gardens and grounds are immaculately maintained with specimen trees and shrubs, herbaceous boarders and lawns contained by a ha-ha and yew hedges, a highlight being the decorative pond leading the eye to breath-taking, far-reaching views visible from the house.
Venthams is enviably situated in an elevated position within the Hampshire South Downs National Park. To the west of the lively market town of Petersfield and within striking distance of London, it commands spectacular views over open countryside, whilst being well located for the Georgian market town of Alresford and the historic cathedral city of Winchester.
Rapid communications to London are the A3 and railway at Petersfield (3.7 miles) and rail links at Alton and Winchester. Fishing is available on the well-known rivers of the Itchen and the Test; the beaches of the south coast at Chichester are within easy driving distance with sailing on the south coast, the Solent and the Hamble. The nearby Goodwood Motor Circuit hosts world famous events such as the Goodwood Revival and the Festival of Speed.
