This “magnificent” home for sale sits in more than 10 acres - and comes with a decommissioned aircraft.

Durford Edge, in the hamlet of Durford Wood near Petersfield, is an Arts and Crafts house with historic gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll.

A key aspect which can be included in the sale is a decommissioned Harrier II jet, which has been in the grounds as an ornamental feature for the last eight years.

The jet is one of only eight RAF Harriers thought to exist in the UK, and comes complete with its Rolls Royce Pegasus 105 turbo fan engine.

The house itself spans more than 8,000 square feet, having been sympathetically renovated throughout, with original features including beamed ceilings and period fireplaces.

Entering the property, there is a central entrance hall leading to the reception rooms, including a dining room with a stone fireplace, a triple aspect drawing room with an open fireplace, an oak bay window and French doors, a sitting room and a study.

At the other end of the hall is a large open-plan kitchen, breakfast room and family room, along with a utility room and a guest shower room.

A solid oak staircase with a feature window leads upstairs, where there is a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, four further bedrooms and another two bathrooms.

The sixth bedroom, which could also be used as a study, can be accessed via a separate staircase.

As well as the main house, there is a refurbished detached building named The Hollow, featuring a large open plan kitchen, reception room, elevated dining area, four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The grounds stretch over more than 10 acres, having been developed as a natural garden with woodland walks.

The smaller private garden sits to the west of the house, while to the south is a paved terrace with views over the pond.

Completing the property is a double garage, a single garage, and access to a small basement area.

The property is being marketed by Savills for a guide price of £3,950,000.

Ed Tighe of Savills Guildford commented: “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."
