Church Lane, Greatham, Liss, Hampshire, GU33

Set in about 2.5 acres of gardens and grounds, an incredibly charming family home with the added benefit of an excellent annexe plus outbuildings and paddock.

A charming and characterful family home believed to date back to the 17th century, Pooks Cottage has been lovingly and sympathetically maintained by the current owners, preserving its heritage while introducing modern comforts.

One of the standout features of the home is the bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room. This welcoming space boasts an Aga, a central kitchen island, and an orangery-style extension that provides the perfect setting for a breakfast or dining table. Both this room and the generous entrance hall benefit from electric underfloor heating.

The property is accessed via a large entrance hall, which leads into the kitchen/breakfast area as well as the sitting room with adjoining snug which is ideal for relaxed family living or entertaining guests.

Upstairs, the master bedroom offers beautiful dual-aspect views over the surrounding gardens, built-in storage, and a private en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms, each rich in character, reflect the historical charm and age of the home.

Complementing the main house is a superb detached annexe with integrated stabling. The annexe includes a spacious studio, a modern kitchen area with built-in appliances, and a shower room, all benefiting from wet underfloor heating. The two stables and adjoining tack/feed room are fully serviced with electricity and well-lit internally and externally throughout the yard. Adjacent to the stables is an attractive oak-clad double bay car barn with lockable doors.

Pooks Cottage sits in a pretty country setting on the edge of the village of Greatham, which has a beautiful church, highly-regarded primary school and a superb public house serving Thai food. The villages of Liphook and Liss, both within a short drive, provide excellent shopping facilities for one's daily needs, but also mainline train stations with direct services into London Waterloo. The market town of Petersfield provides a more extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities, as well as a larger mainline.

Communications in the area are very convenient, with the A3 providing fast and direct access to London, as well as the M25 and the international airports of Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton. The surrounding area has an excellent choice of schools, including Highfield and Brookham at Liphook, Churcher’s College at Liphook and Petersfield, as well as the Bedales schools in Steep.
