This property presents an exceptional opportunity for both developers and individual buyers interested in renovation and investment potential. The site consists of two currently tenanted properties: a delightful two-bedroom semi-detached cottage that offers ample scope for enhancement or expansion (pending necessary planning approvals), and a distinctive one-bedroom Oast House already equipped with planning permission for further internal renovations.
One of the key highlights is the large flint barn on the property, which comes with full planning consent to be converted into two separate cottages (Application Ref: SDNP/23/03414/FUL & SDNP/25/01662/CND). This aspect blends historical charm with modern development possibilities, making it an enticing prospect for those looking to create additional living spaces or rental units.
Planning consultants have indicated that there may be opportunities to refine or improve upon the current plans, allowing prospective purchasers to customize the project according to their vision (subject to obtaining relevant consents). Such flexibility in development is rare in this picturesque area of the South Downs National Park, suggesting strong investment potential.
Located just a mile from East Meon village, this site benefits from a tranquil setting surrounded by protected countryside. The area features an abundance of footpaths and bridleways perfect for outdoor enthusiasts while providing close proximity to Petersfield (5 miles away), which offers convenient train services to London, as well as easy access to major roadways like the A3 and A272 leading towards Winchester (15 miles).
East Meon boasts a vibrant community environment with local amenities including two public houses, a general store, school, church, and an active village hall. The region is also known for its reputable schools such as Bedales, Churchers College, Ditcham Park School, and The Petersfield School.
This unique combination of location benefits and renovation potential makes the property particularly attractive for investors or private buyers seeking a characterful project in a highly sought-after area.
