Parsons Cottage is a compact three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage tucked on East Meon’s High Street, within the South Downs National Park. The house retains period character — exposed beams, a fireplace and sash-style windows — delivering cosy, village-centre living for buyers who value location and character over expansive space. The property is freehold and extends to around 926 sq ft over two floors.
Practical features include a private walled rear garden and an off-street parking space — useful extras in a village setting. The cottage sits close to the village shop, pub, primary school and countryside walks; Petersfield station is a short drive for commuting. Broadband is fast and mobile signal average, supporting modern working-from-home arrangements.
Buyers should note this is an older building with electric room heaters, secondary glazing and assumed uninsulated solid stone walls; the EPC is rated E. There is a single family bathroom and modest room sizes, so it will suit those seeking a character starter home, a countryside pied-à-terre or a small family cottage rather than a large modern house. Council tax is above average and the property sits in an area with a medium flooding risk, so purchasers should factor insurance and potential improvement costs into their plans.
Overall, Parsons Cottage offers a rare village-centre opportunity in a sought-after Hampshire location. It rewards buyers who appreciate historic charm and are willing to invest in energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to improve comfort and running costs.
