Description

An exceptionally located charming country cottage in the picturesque Meon Valley within reach of Petersfield, Winchester and the South Coast.

The Property - Drayton Cottage is an extended and much-loved country home in a beautiful river valley setting. It has a distinctly light interior with exposed timbers and flint walls in parts. All rooms offer a variety of views of the delightful surrounding countryside.

The flagged floor and exposed flint wall of the entrance hall set the tone upon entering. A solid oak staircase leads upstairs to a light landing, the bedrooms and bathrooms.

The spacious lounge has an open fire as a focal point and opens to a courtyard which in turn leads to the upper garden.

The beamed dining room and cosy snug provide views of the river and fields; each has a wood burner.

The kitchen catches the morning sun with views of the river valley. It has a good range of cabinets/units and an electric Rangemaster cooker. A separate utility room lies off it.

Upstairs the main bedroom has an exposed brick chimney and a large en suite offering further views of the hills to the north, east and west. Currently, the adjacent bedroom is arranged as a dressing room and can be reinstated as the fourth double bedroom. The first floor contains two further double bedrooms and bathroom.

Outside - There are well stocked gardens on either side of the house creating a beautiful and mature setting. To the north the garden is level set mainly to lawn with a summerhouse. To the south, the terraced garden rises up offering lawns and dedicated spots for enjoying the outstanding views. The bank behind the house contains wildflowers. A double garage and workshop lie away from the house across a gravel parking area.

Situation - Drayton Cottage lies out in the country a mile to the west of East Meon which has a pub, a 700-year-old church, old courthouse, village shop and primary school, together with a modern recreation ground and village hall. West Meon is 2 miles to the west with a primary school, pub, shop and butcher.
The popular market town of Petersfield is within easy reach. It has a mainline station with good services to London Waterloo and access the main A3.
The area has an excellent range of schools including Bedales, Churcher’s College and Ditcham Park together with village schools in both East and West Meon and TPS in the state sector.
The property sits in the heart of the South Downs National Park providing extensive recreational and leisure activities. There are many miles of local footpaths and country lanes to enjoy walking or cycling straight from the front door.
The larger regional centres of Winchester, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance. The Petersfield – Winchester bus service passes the cottage.
