Summary - 8, LEYDENE PARK GU32 1HF
5 bed 4 bath Country House
Grand five-bedroom wing with sweeping South Downs views and private terrace.
South-facing terrace with expansive panoramic views
An exceptional south-facing wing of Leydene House, this five-bedroom country house offers grand proportions, high ceilings and long panoramic views across the South Downs to the Solent. The principal suite includes a dressing room and ensuite; three further bathrooms (two en suite) and five double bedrooms provide flexible family accommodation across three floors. Reception rooms – drawing room, sitting room and dining room – retain period detail and open onto a wide private terrace and formal knot garden, ideal for entertaining or relaxed family living.
Externally the house sits within extensive communal parkland on an exclusive private estate, with manicured formal gardens, woodland, tennis courts, pond, garage and generous parking. The terrace and southerly aspect are standout features for summer living and outdoor entertaining. Proximity to East Meon village amenities, the South Downs National Park and well-regarded schools make this a strong option for families seeking countryside life with good regional links.
Buyers should note several material issues: the property has a very poor EPC rating (F28) and is constructed with solid brick walls with no built-in insulation, so energy costs and retrofit work are likely. Main heating is LPG via boiler and radiators (not a community supply). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home working. Council tax is described as very expensive. The house dates from 1914 and, while largely modernised in parts, will require ongoing maintenance typical of a historic property.
Overall this wing suits purchasers wanting a characterful, sizable family home with spectacular views and estate amenities, who are prepared to invest in improving energy performance and in the upkeep of a period property.
