The multi-million pound Hampshire home with a Harrier jump jet

The magnificent £3.95 million Arts and Crafts home is set in secluded grounds of more than ten acres, including the decommissioned jet, one of only a handful of its kind left in the world. 

Six bedroom Durford Edge, in the sought after Durford Wood Estate two miles from Petersfield, boasts a second four bedroom home, extensive Gertrude Jekyll designed gardens, and a spectacular pond.

The rare GR7, positioned within the grounds as an ornamental feature for the last eight years,  is one of only eight RAF British Harriers thought to be in existence in the UK following the sale of the in-service fleet to the US. It comes complete with its Rolls Royce Pegasus 105 turbo fan engine.

It is thought that most of the 74 Harriers which were sold to the US have now been dismantled or destroyed, making this aircraft incredibly rare.

The six-bedroom property, together with secondary property The Hollow, extends to more than 8,000 sq ft and has been renovated throughout.

Retaining many of its original features, the house is light and spacious with far reaching views.

Ed Tighe, of agents Savills Guildford, said: “This fascinating property has undergone complete restoration, with the combination of the original features alongside modern conveniences creating a wonderful family home. The spectacular Gertrude Jeykll designed gardens are an incredible feature – as is the intriguing addition of a rare Harrier jet.”

A welcoming central entrance hall leads to the reception rooms, including a dining room with stone fireplace and beamed ceiling; triple aspect drawing room and a study with southerly views over the garden. The large, contemporary kitchen/breakfast/family room also has access to the garden as well as a utility room.

A beautiful, solid oak staircase with large feature window leads to the first floor and well-proportioned bedrooms including the triple aspect principal bedroom suite.

The grounds were developed as a natural garden with woodland walks. 

The Hollow is a beautifully refurbished detached building with a large open plan kitchen, reception room, elevated dining area, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
