SELLER INSIGHT

Flagstones is an exquisite home that offers luxury living at its very best. The present owner says he feels Flagstones can claim to have the best position in Petersfield as it enjoys a fantastic location with uninterrupted views across Petersfield Heath and Lake, yet is only three hundred yards from the town, and the station for easy commuting into London.

The owner has appreciated and enjoyed Flagstones for many years and explains that the house was built in nineteen fifty eight by his step father in law. The owner bought it from the estate three years ago, and during that time the property has been extensively renovated. The plot has been relandscaped to include a large circular in out driveway and generous sun terraces formed, where you can relax and entertain whilst savouring the soft green views to the lake.

Within the house underfloor heating was installed throughout the ground and first floor areas, and a high pressure water system now provide high pressure to the showers and bathrooms: plus the latest high speed fibre broadband to ensure easy working from home.

Work also included the creation of a new open plan kitchen which is the sociable hub of the home. Perfect for the keen cook it is equipped with the latest Gaggenau appliances, large fridge, wine cooler and freezer, whilst the four ovens include a steaming oven. Anyone not cooking, can settle in the living area with its impressive views to the lake, and it is also the best summer place to watch sport on the large Bang and Olufsen television. A further aesthetic joy of the modern kitchen is that a chic central Planika feature fireplace separates but allows for communication between both areas,

The house is a series of elegant and ultra comfortable rooms where you can simply relax or entertain more formally. The drawing room is a favourite winter room and when you sit by the large open fire, there can be no place better.

Petersfield is a vibrant market town, just fifteen miles from Portsmouth. It has weekly markets and the Festival Hall shows plays and concerts during the year. There are excellent schools in the area and leisure activities include racing at nearby Goodwood and sailing on the Solent.

The owner loves Flagstones and will miss everything about it. He has many happy memories, particularly the memorable party celebration the christening of his daughter. The time has come for him to downsize, but it is a house that enjoys people, and he is sure that the new owners will love it in the same way.*

The views are the real wow factors of this beautiful house and two of the main bedrooms have covered balconies which allow panor amic scenes across the lake and surrounding countryside. The owner says that there is something very special about sitting there and watch flocks of migrating geese and swans; the drama of an approaching storm or a place to enjoy a coffee on a sparkling summer morning.”

The elevated garden is mainly laid to lawn, shrubs, flower beds and stunning Acer trees, but again everything is about the views and t he office at the end of the house enables you to work with the peaceful garden view before you. It is a good place to work. There are many places throughout the garden where you can sit and si mply savour this tranquil oasis.”
