A beautifully renovated country retreat in the popular village of Stedham.
With a lovely elevated position beside the charming church in the highly coveted village of Stedham, Tye Hill is a beautifully restored Grade II Listed home dating back to circa 16th century. Set within exquisite landscaped gardens of approximately 0.67 acres, this idyllic residence has been meticulously renovated, marrying the property's historic architectural features with elegance and contemporary comfort. A rare opportunity, the property also benefits from approved planning permission to convert the characterful Bothy into luxurious guest accommodation.
Entering the house, you are welcomed into a beautiful, bright, and well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room with a central island. This fantastic kitchen, featuring top-of-the-range appliances, has been thoughtfully planned for the serious cook. It opens onto a sunlit, brick-paved terrace through bifold doorsideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A separate utility room offers additional pantry storage and laundry facilities. There is also a cloakroom located on the other side of the kitchen.
Beyond the kitchen is the cosy dining room, with space for a large table and an impressive inglenook fireplace. Adjacent to the dining room is an office space looking out onto the garden. The stunning double-height, vaulted central hall, with full-length windows and skylights flooding the space with light, gives the whole house a feeling of openness. This leads through to the spacious yet cosy sitting room. Original features have been retained, from exposed beams and beautifully preserved fireplaces, two of which have been enhanced with multi-fuel log-burning stoves, the perfect mix of period charm and modern convenience.
From the central hall, a new wooden staircase complements the original features of the house and rises to the vaulted landing, which is also bathed in natural light. This leads to three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all thoughtfully planned and stunningly executed. The principal suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a generous walk-in wardrobe, an en suite shower room, and lovely views. Two further bedrooms are served by an en suite shower room and a family bathroom, offering luxurious comfort for guests and family alike.
The pretty gardens lie to the rear of the house and are thoughtfully landscaped with mature trees, a wonderful vine-clad walkway, structured borders, and a flourishing wildflower meadow. The brick terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining.
The original Bothy is attached to the house, and this characterful outbuilding, currently used for storage, has planning permission in place to transform it into additional living or guest accommodation, potentially integrating it with the main house. There is also planning permission to reinstate the original entrance on the front elevation of the house, with steps rising from the road. On the opposite side of the road, the property boundary extends to a large area, mainly gravelled and used for parking. This is in addition to the parking adjacent to the main property. Finally, a neatly placed garden shed, perfect for storage but currently used as an art studio, completes this wonderful countryside home.

I love the quintessentially pretty position of this property. It is wonderfully quiet, with fabulous country walks on your doorstep. It perfectly encompasses what country living should be.
