<p>One of Muddy’s Best Places to Live in Hampshire &#8211; and recently named as <em>The Times’</em> Best Place to Live in the Southeast of England – this elegant country home is on the outskirts of the South Downs National Park market town of <a href="https://hants.muddystilettos.co.uk/best-places-to-live/hampshire-iow/petersfield/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Petersfield</a>, with it&#8217;s strong community feel, great schools, 69-acre heath, independent shops, cafes and restaurants and direct trains to London and Portsmouth.</p>



<p>Located in a private estate in the hamlet of Durford Wood, close to the village of Liss on the West Sussex border, it&#8217;s called &#8216;The Cottage&#8217;. But don&#8217;t be fooled. </p>



<p>There&#8217;s no low beams or teeny tiny cottage kitchen here. Quite the opposite, infact. This five-bedroom detatched house has bags of space and is reached by a long, sweeping driveway (perfect for those who love a little seclusion – or have Lady of the Manor aspirations). </p>



<p>And if you fancied really making this pretty gorgeous South Downs property your own, there&#8217;s (lapsed) planning permission to enlarge and reconfigure it. </p>
