Temple Lane, East Meon, Hampshire, GU32

A beautifully presented period farmhouse with a delightful southerly aspect on the edge of this picturesque village.

The property is a detached period farmhouse, beautifully presented and oozing charm and character. Built with brick and painted rendered elevations under a tiled roof, the accommodation is over two floors. The layout can be seen in the floorplan but of particular note is the tremendous reception hall with a wealth of exposed timber and glazing overlooking the garden leading to the kitchen/breakfast room with its central island. The sitting room has exposed timbers and there's a woodburner; ideal for thawing out over the cold winter months and there's a separate lobby and study. From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing, off which are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom has its own en suite shower room and dressing area. Accessed either through the house or by its own front door is a self-contained annex which could easily be incorporated within the main house should one wish. Outside, the house is approached through electric gates onto a shingle drive with ample parking and there's a detached workshop, garage and carport. The main garden is largely laid to lawn and being on the south side of the house, is an ideal spot to entertain in the summer. Surrounded by three sides of the house is a landscaped courtyard.

The property is on the edge of this sought after picturesque village that has two pubs, a primary school, village store and church. The surrounding countryside is nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park and as can be expected offers fantastic walking and riding. Nearby, Petersfield provides excellent amenities including a twice weekly market. Supermarkets include Waitrose, Tesco, an M&S food hall and there are numerous cafes and boutique shops. The train station provides a direct service between Portsmouth (in approximately 30 minutes) and London Waterloo (in a little over an hour). The area has many active clubs and societies with golf available at Petersfield and Liphook, horse and motor racing at Goodwood, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing along the South Coast. There are many popular schools in the area including Churcher's College, Bedales, Ditcham Park and The Petersfield School.

Services: Mains drainage and electricity. Oil fired central heating. Water is currently supplied from a local farm but the existing owners are prepared at their expense to connect to the mains.
