4 bed detached house for sale

Church Street, East Meon, Petersfield, Hampshire GU32

The property is an attractive and deceptively spacious detached, unlisted period cottage, constructed with traditional brick elevations beneath a tiled roof and offering versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The property has a particularly appealing exterior, with a wealth of period detailing and a charming appearance. Internally, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, extending to approximately 2,294 sq. Ft, excluding the substantial detached workshop of approximately 612 sq. Ft. The layout is clearly illustrated on the accompanying floorplan, but of particular note is the impressive 31'3 x 14'9 kitchen/dining room, providing an excellent sociable heart to the home, together with two separate living rooms and utility facilities. The first floor provides four double bedrooms and family bathroom. The accommodation is ideally suited to modern family life, while retaining the character and individuality expected of a property of this age. Throughout the cottage there are a number of attractive period features, including exposed brickwork and timbering, creating warmth and character. The reception areas are particularly welcoming, with wood-burning stoves providing a cosy focal point and an inviting atmosphere during the colder months. The combination of original features, generous room proportions and a practical layout gives the property considerable charm, whilst also offering scope for individualisation and modernisation where desired. To the western side of the house is the established garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by a variety of mature hedging, shrubs, and established planting. The garden provides a good degree of privacy and seclusion and offers plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, gardening or simply relaxing during the summer months. Another notable feature is the substantial detached outbuilding positioned at the far end of the garden which offers excellent potential for a variety of uses and was formerly a garage for the previous owners. Planning permission was previously granted for its demolition and reconstruction to create ancillary residential accommodation in July 2023 (sdnp/23/01627/hous). Whilst this consent elapsed in July 2026, the previous approval may be of interest to prospective purchasers considering future enhancement, subject to the necessary consents . Overall, this is a characterful and unusually spacious detached cottage, combining a wealth of period appeal with generous and flexible accommodation, an established private garden, and a substantial detached outbuilding - a combination that is increasingly difficult to find.

Agent note: We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
