West Meon, Hampshire

THE PROPERTY An attractive and versatile detached property of character providing stylish, lateral living with notably high ceilings situated in an outstanding rural setting. Originally built as a Victorian stable, the property has undergone sympathetic modernisation whilst retaining much character and with the addition of a family / dining room by the current owners, this adds a contemporary feel. The light, comfortable and spacious accommodation is ideally suited for family living and entertaining purposes, with easy access to a south facing dining terrace / courtyard garden area directly from the sitting room and the house further benefits most rooms enjoying lovely views across the gardens and countryside beyond. 

LOCATION The property enjoys a rural location on the fringe of the sought after village of West Meon in the Meon Valley. The village offers many amenities including The Thomas Lord public house, an award-winning village store, butchers, a doctor's surgery, Montessori nursery, primary school and church. More comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities and mainline train stations, with services to London Waterloo in just over an hour, can be found in the nearby larger market towns of Petersfield and Alton, or the city of Winchester. The A3 can be accessed at Petersfield providing good regional links to Guildford and the South Coast. The Meon Valley is part of a gently undulating rural landscape that has remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property lies within the South Downs National Park and there are numerous opportunities for walking, cycling and other country pursuits within the area.
 

OUTSIDE Enjoying a picturesque, rural southerly aspect, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway leading to an extensive parking area. The gardens to the property are a particularly special feature, arranged into differing 'areas', comprising formal level lawns, a large vegetable/flower garden with numerous beds and shaped topiary bushes and also houses a detached, Victorian greenhouse / orangery with a separate garden studio / office. In all, the south facing gardens extend to approximately 0.56 Acres (0226 ha).
