The lovely village of West Meon is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is well situated for access to Petersfield, Winchester, Alton, Fareham and Southampton with a good local road network. The fabulous Grade II listed house is set within wonderful gardens and has spacious and versatile accommodation with delightful features throughout.

With a guest cottage and a groom’s cottage there is plenty of space for extended family accommodation or staff and in the main house the principal living space radiates from the entrance hall and large reception hall. This includes impressive formal drawing and dining rooms, a large study, sitting room and the superb family kitchen/breakfast room. Most rooms have direct access to the gardens which creates a lovely airy feel through the summer months.

The master suite on the first floor encompasses a large bedroom with French doors to a balcony, fitted dressing room and sumptuous bathroom with a free standing bath on a raised dais, shower, twin basins and separate cloakroom. Four further double bedrooms, including a guest suite, lead off the landing and there is also a large family bathroom.

Approached via a gravelled driveway with ample parking, an archway opens to the imposing curved entrance porch. There are useful outbuildings and garaging together with storage space in the cellar and the stable complex adds another dimension, with separate access and paddocks. The total grounds extend to just over eight acres with south facing formal gardens with numerous specimen plants and trees, attractive terraced borders, a young orchard, outdoor swimming pool and a walled vegetable garden.

The Country House Company asks a monthly rent of £5,500 inclusive of gardening and highly recommends this wonderfully restored and upgraded village house with period character and charm.
