Longmoor Lodge, Longmoor Road, Greatham, Liss, Hampshire, GU33 6AP [map]

Once part of Queen Victoria’s estate, Longmoor Lodge has been immaculately renovated and extended to blend contemporary style with an abundance of original character. Located in the beautiful South Downs National Park and with easy access to the A3, this charming family residence balances a country lifestyle with convenience, while a mature, wrap-around garden completes the idyllic setup. 

In addition to the main house, Longmoor Lodge features a sizeable converted stable block complete with a fitted kitchen, store room and cloakroom. This flexible space could serve as a large home office, a generous studio, a workshop or occasional spacious guest accommodation.

The property also comes with a large commercial plot of land that could be incorporated into the garden (subject to planning consent) or provide space for a home based business. 



Life at Longmoor Lodge

 

Welcome Home

As you drive along the tree-flanked road leading to Longmoor, you’ll catch your first glimpse of an original stone and brick-accented exterior. Paired sympathetically with a lodge-style clad modern extension, the house conveys an instantly homely feel as you pull into the wide gravel driveway where there’s space for several cars plus undercover parking in the oversized double garage. 

Beyond the fencing screening the driveway, you’ll find a landscaped garden with paving stones leading to a gabled front entrance. Once inside the hallway, there’s a space for coats and shoes and the downstairs cloakroom to your right.

Contemporary Charm 

Heated limestone flooring underfoot flows through into a dining kitchen with southerly and westerly aspects for all-day sunshine. Here, a white metro-tiled splashback complements a quartz worktop and smart blue cabinetry including a good-sized mobile kitchen island. French doors to an outdoor seating area further ensure the kitchen is a great place to entertain, no matter the season.

Integrated appliances include an oven and microwave, an induction hob with an overhead extractor, and a dishwasher. You’ll also find space for an American-style fridge-freezer in the adjoining utility and boot room, which comes with matching cabinetry and work surfaces, space for appliances, and access to the side garden. 

Next door, you’ll find the cosy, characterful reception room with open beams that complement the stonework, deep-set casement windows and wall-mounted reading lights. With separate areas for sitting or dining and a door opening onto the garden, this is a warm and sociable hub where the family can gather together for any occasion. 

Retreat Upstairs 

An L-shaped first-floor landing leads to three south-facing double bedrooms boasting lovely garden views and soft cream carpeting. In the spacious and bright principal suite, you’ll also find panelled double wardrobes and a built-in dressing table. 

In the en suite, there’s a walk-in rainfall shower, a heated towel rail, an attractive basin vanity unit and loo. The white metro tiling continues in the main family bathroom where there’s a bath and glass-screened overhead shower to one side and a blue vanity unit that echoes the colour palette from the kitchen. 

Step Outside 

Surrounded by mature trees, the enclosed south-facing garden feels very private and secluded. Dotted around the well-tended lawn, carefully placed flowerbeds filled with plants and shrubbery pair with several seating areas to create a relaxed atmosphere for parties or lazy Sunday afternoons. 

Across from the main house, you’ll discover the tastefully converted ‘Old Stables’. Extending over 725sq ft, it comprises fully modernised separate living or working space, including a fitted kitchen. 

The stables have the potential to be whatever you desire - a fantastic workshop, large home office/studio or occasional guest annexe - and could also serve the extensive, multi-functional commercial plot to the rear of the garden. 

Furthermore, the annexe features doors leading out onto a private outside deck where, fringed by flowering plants, you could sit and enjoy a quiet morning coffee overlooking the garden. 

Do you dream of being able to run a business from home?

Attached to Longmoor Lodge is a separate, largely grassed, area currently designated for commercial use. This offers huge potential for a whole range of home businesses eg do you have dreams of setting up a dog kennels or cattery  or a horticultural business?  Perhaps you are seeking space to park and service vehicles or maybe you simply need lots of extra storage?

This area currently has a mobile phone mast situated on it that brings in an income of £5,000 per annum.
