An outstanding Grade II* listed country house, on the edge of the popular village of West Meon.
Description
This superb Grade II* listed country house has a distinguished history and has been beautifully transformed by the current owners through a thoughtful programme of redecoration and modernisation. The work has been carried out with great taste and attention to detail, and the interiors are furnished with exceptional style and quality throughout.
Inside, the house provides extensive and characterful accommodation that combines period charm with modern comfort. The interiors are superbly presented, with exposed framing and panelling from several eras sitting alongside elegant contemporary finishes and beautifully chosen furnishings. The principal reception rooms include a large drawing room with an open fireplace as a focal point, a comfortable family room with westerly views over the gardens, and a magnificent oak beamed dining room situated in the oldest part of the house. The kitchen and breakfast room sits beyond, fitted with an oil fired Aga and a range of hand painted units, with an adjoining utility and boot room and a pantry. A back hall links the kitchen to the snug, the secondary staircase, and the wine cellar.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is positioned above the dining room in the oldest part of the house and includes a dressing room and bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and two bathrooms on this level. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining bathroom.
The house is approached from a quiet no through lane shared with only a few neighbouring properties. A sweeping gated gravel drive provides generous parking and turning space with an in and out access. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with both formal and informal areas. To the south and west there are sweeping lawns interspersed with beds and borders that provide structure and seasonal interest. A formal pond with a silver birch walk lies to the south east, while a partly walled orchard and kitchen garden with an adjoining wilderness area planted with specimen trees extends further south. The tennis court, which is in good condition, is located to the west. Close to the house there are several terraces ideal for summer dining, including a substantial courtyard beside the kitchen. To the north of the courtyard is a herb garden with a greenhouse.
Location
The house is located on the edge of West Meon, a delightful and vibrant village with a number of amenities including a village shop, butchers, well-regarded public house (The Thomas Lord), primary school and numerous sports clubs, a highly regarded amateur dramatic group as well as other societies.
The village takes its name from the River Meon, a chalk stream which winds its way through the South Downs and passes through the grounds of Court House.
The South Downs are a designated National Park and provide an exceptional, unspoilt setting with many opportunities for walking, riding and other country pursuits. There many fine partridge and pheasant shoots in the area, trout fishing on the River Meon as well as the Itchen and Test, golf at Corhampton and Alresford and sailing on the south coast.
The numerous well-regarded preparatory and secondary schools in the area including Twyford, Princeâs Mead, West Hill Park, Pilgrimâs, Highfield, Bedales, Churcherâs, Winchester College, St Swithunâs, Lord Wandsworth College and Portsmouth Grammar School.
