East Meon

THE PROPERTY
Little Laurel is a beautifully presented detached cottage situated in the heart of the sought-after village of East Meon. Finished to a high specification throughout, the property offers bright, spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, incorporating a number of energy-efficient features.

The ground floor accommodation centres around a generous open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, providing a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining, with direct access to the private rear garden. There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which could equally serve as a study or additional reception room if required, together with a family bathroom and separate utility room. On the first floor is the principal bedroom with an en suite shower room and additional storage.

Of particular note are the energy-efficient features, including solar panels linked to the hot water system and an air source heat pump providing underfloor heating.

OUTSIDE
Despite its central village location, Little Laurel benefits from a good-sized, private rear garden. To the front and side of the cottage is a low-maintenance garden area with a pathway providing access to the utility room. A gate leads through to the rear garden, where a generous sunken terrace, enclosed by brick walls and accessed directly from the living accommodation, provides a lovely space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead up to a large, level lawn, beyond which is a gated gravel driveway providing parking for at least two cars.

LOCATION
East Meon is a thriving village which has two pubs, a church, a village shop and primary school, together with a modern recreation ground and village hall. The popular market town of Petersfield is 4.5 miles away and has a mainline station with services to London Waterloo in just over an hour and this is also where you can access the A3, which provides good regional links to Guildford and the M25 beyond, and the South Coast. The area is particularly blessed with an excellent range of schools including Bedales, Churchers College and Ditcham Park together with The Petersfield School and Bohunt in the state sector. The property sits in the heart of the South Downs National Park providing extensive recreational and leisure activities and The South Downs Way runs to the south of the village. The larger regional centres of Winchester which has many good schools as well, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast.
