Rogate, Petersfield, West Sussex GU31

Originally established in 1880, Glebe Cottage is a characterful rural residence that blends period charm with modern elements. The current owner has cherished the home for over 42 years, thoughtfully extending and upgrading it in parts over time. While many improvements have been made, there remains scope for further modernisation and personalisation, allowing a new owner to make their own mark.

A welcoming porch provides useful storage and leads into a modern kitchen and dining area featuring a central island—perfect for family life and entertaining. Adjacent is a utility room for added practicality. The ground floor also offers a formal dining room, a home office, and a versatile reception room currently used as a study. A separate living room with fireplace offers a cosy retreat, complemented by an adjoining space with a computer desk and views over the front garden.

The layout of the home is particularly unique, featuring two staircases that lead to the first floor—a result of the property's various extensions.
