About this listing
Dating back to around 1650, Lower House Farm is an exceptional country home set on the edge of the picturesque village of East Meon. Beautifully refurbished throughout, this elegant six-bedroom farmhouse combines impressive proportions with a wealth of original character. Exposed beams, flagstone flooring and original fireplaces sit alongside beautifully appointed living spaces, creating a home that balances historic charm with contemporary comfort. Set within the South Downs National Park, the property offers an exceptional setting for family life and entertaining.
Approached via a sweeping gravel carriage driveway, the farmhouse immediately impresses with its handsome flint and brick elevations, reflecting the property's centuries of history. Inside, a magnificent double-height entrance hall with galleried landing creates a striking first impression, while exposed beams, flagstone flooring and original fireplaces add warmth and character throughout.
The kitchen and breakfast room forms the heart of the house. Arranged around a substantial central island beneath granite worktops, it provides extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and generous space for everyday family life. Full-width glazing and bi-fold doors open directly onto the stone terrace, allowing the gardens to become a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months. Beyond, the adjoining family room centres around a striking inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully inviting setting.
Formal entertaining is equally well catered for. The drawing room is beautifully proportioned and features another impressive fireplace, while the separate dining room enjoys views across the grounds. A boot room, utility room, office and cloakroom complete the ground floor, alongside a secondary staircase leading to a generous games room.
The first floor provides six spacious bedrooms, accessed via a galleried landing. The principal bedroom benefits from a large ensuite bathroom, while four further bedrooms also enjoy ensuite facilities, allowing the house to accommodate family and guests with ease. A sixth bedroom offers flexibility as a dressing room, nursery or additional bedroom.
The property also benefits from a number of useful spaces adjoining the main house, including an attached carport and both a larger and smaller workshop. These provide excellent practical accommodation for storage, hobbies and other uses, while remaining conveniently connected to the farmhouse.
Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens surround the farmhouse, with expansive lawns, mature specimen trees, a tranquil pond and a broad stone terrace designed for outdoor dining and entertaining. The gardens provide a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity, creating an idyllic setting in which to enjoy the surrounding countryside and the exceptional position within the South Downs National Park.
Lower House Farm occupies an idyllic position just over a mile from the sought-after village of East Meon, one of Hampshire's most attractive villages, renowned for its historic character, village pub, local shop, Norman church and excellent walking and riding routes through the South Downs National Park. Petersfield is approximately four miles away, offering a mainline station with direct services to London Waterloo, alongside an excellent range of shops, restaurants and schools, while the A3 provides convenient access to London, Guildford, Winchester and the south coast.Show more
