Priors Dean, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU32 1BW

A carbon-negative home with some of the finest views in Hampshire and barn owls and kestrels breeding on the property.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE The five-bedroom house lies off a quiet, rural lane and first impressions are wonderful.

The approach to Warrenside Farm is down its own, long driveway that open out to the most spectacular, panoramic views.

These views (reaching as far as Haslemere) only improve the more one experiences of the property.

The original 1940’s home has been cleverly and significantly upgraded and enhanced since the current owners purchased the property in 2013.

It has an impressive carbon negative footprint with high levels of insulation, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), a ground source heat pump, and an extensive solar panel array.

A 13.5 kWh Tesla Wall 2 battery provides power storage for nighttime use and power outages. Even after charging three electric vehicles, more power is generated than used when taken over the year.

The heat pump can also be used to provide cooling in certain areas of house during hot summers.

The open plan kitchen/living room, other reception rooms and bedrooms all enjoying the awe-inspiring views. The media room has a shower room off it and could be used as a ground floor (6th) bedroom.

The property, as a whole, is ideal for entertaining. The 10 acres (approximately) plus the five big loose boxes and two smaller loose boxes provides the property with a viable equestrian lifestyle.
