Haus, Steep, Petersfield, Hampshire

This sensational contemporary home occupies a hilltop position with delightful views over the undulating countryside of the South Downs National Park. The exciting design was created by renowned local architects, Re-Format, replacing an existing unconventional home with a fresh, considered structure.

Completed in 2025, the L-shaped main house offers approximately 6,629 square foot (544 square metres) of lateral living space and accommodation set over two floors. The design of the building is sympathetic to its rural setting, engineered to appear as a modern interpretation of an agricultural building, and the impressive windows frame stunning views of the surrounding landscape from both floors.

Inside, the magnificent sitting room has soaring vaulted ceilings and is warmed by a wood fire. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, views look out over the pool and deck to the countryside beyond. The kitchen, breakfast area and dining space is semi-open plan to the sitting room, ideal for day-to-day family life and well configured for entertaining. Adjacent to the sitting room is a cosy cinema room with a sunken seating area and wood fire. The house caters well for outdoor life as there is a spacious boot room and utility room, while a pantry provides ample storage space for the kitchen. Visiting guests are well accommodated with two ground floor bedroom suites, which are also well positioned for live-in staff or multi-generational living such as grandparents or older children living at home.

The first floor is laid out to suit modern family life, including a fabulous games room with outstanding elevated views. In addition to a luxurious principal suite there are three further first-floor bedroom suites, each one spacious and light with its own dedicated shower or bathroom. An additional bedroom on the first floor can be created by reconfiguring one of the two mezzanines.

Separate to the main house, the substantial annexe has been constructed with flexibility in mind. Planning has been granted for a fitness and wellness area, plus a further two bedroom suites. The annexe is currently awaiting fitting by the incoming purchaser – so there is excellent scope for personalisation to suit. In total, this could provide a further 1,733 square foot of property.

A planning application has been submitted (pending a decision) for a basement to house an indoor pool or substantial car collection.
