Set in the heart of East Meon, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines 16th-century character with generous family accommodation. Recently re-thatched and occupying a large, mainly level plot, the house enjoys far-reaching countryside views and a private west-facing garden ideal for afternoon sun. The layout offers flexible reception rooms, two staircases and a principal suite with an en suite roll-top bath.
Practical positives include a detached double garage with solar roof tiles that reduce running costs and can generate income, ample off-street parking and no onward chain. Period features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and mullioned-style windows add charm while the bright, triple-aspect kitchen with Rayburn provides a sociable hub connecting directly to the garden.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property: any alterations or extensions will require listed-building consent and could limit scope for major change. The cottage sits off a narrow country lane which may affect large deliveries or accessibility. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the house’s age means ongoing maintenance and specialist conservation work should be expected despite the recent re-thatch.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a landmark, character-rich property in a coveted South Downs village. It offers immediate comfort with scope for sympathetic improvement where permitted, and strong outdoor space for children, pets and gardening enthusiasts.
