A much-loved extended country cottage set in the Meon Valley within the South Downs National Park, Drayton Cottage offers generous family accommodation across 2,433 sq ft with long-ranging valley views. The house combines traditional features — exposed timbers, flint and granite walls, flagged floors and beamed rooms — with practical spaces including a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a study. The principal suite enjoys extensive outlooks and an en suite; a fourth double bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room and can be reinstated easily.
Outside, mature, well-stocked gardens flank the house with terraced lawns rising to panoramic views, a level north lawn with a summerhouse and wildflower bank behind the property. A gravel parking area leads to a double garage and workshop, useful for vehicles and hobbies. The plot is unusually large for the village (approx 0.366 acres) and sits a mile from East Meon with local shops, primary school, pub and good access to Petersfield and the A3.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property uses LPG-fired central heating, drains to a septic tank, has secondary glazing and parts of the original stone walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. Broadband and mobile signals are limited in this rural setting. The EPC rating is D61 and council tax is at the higher band G. Chain-free sale offers straightforward purchase for those relocating or downsizing to a rural lifestyle.
This home will suit owners seeking a character-filled cottage with large gardens and countryside access rather than someone needing high-tech connectivity or a fully modernised fabric; there is sensible scope for selective updating to improve energy performance and services while retaining period charm.
