The Property
Moreton House is an extremely attractive, Grade II listed property, offering rendered elevations and large sash windows beneath a slate tiled roof, overlooking a large walled garden – very much a country house in a town setting. The property has a rich history, understood to have been built in 1860 by Lord Hylton and latterly operated as a school for several decades, before reverting to a residential house. Arranged over three floors, the house offers significant stature and charm throughout, with notably light, high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms, whilst cleverly incorporating many character features including open fireplaces and window shutters combined with the more modern conveniences attributed to current day living. Stylishly and meticulously presented, Moreton House is recognised as being one of Petersfield’s most significant and landmark properties.
Location
Moreton House is situated in the highly desired area of The Spain in the historic market town of Petersfield, within easy walking distance of Petersfield’s town centre amenities and train station. Petersfield is a vibrant market town with a library, outdoor swimming pool, leisure centre, thriving sport clubs, music, arts and theatre community. Only steps from the front door are a comprehensive range of shops, excellent schools catering for both state and private requirements, as well as a mainline station with trains to London Waterloo in just over an hour. There are many good footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area including the South Downs Way, Hangers Way and Sussex Border Path. The nearby A3 provides good regional transport links to Portsmouth, Guildford and London and access to the creeks and inlets of the South Coast.
Outside
Accessed by a large electric gate, the property offers private parking for several vehicles and access to a detached garage. The landscaped, walled gardens are particularly delightful, offering a high degree of privacy. The large terrace, which wraps around the rear of the property, is ideally suite for entertaining. Beyond are principally lawned gardens housing a number of well stocked flower beds and a wildflower meadow. In all, the property extends to 0.43 acres (0.174 ha).
