Peel House offers over 2,300 sq ft of light, flexible accommodation, with generous proportions, stylish interiors and an excellent balance of living, entertaining and practical space. A particular highlight is the striking open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, with its glazed roof lantern and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the terrace and garden. Three further reception rooms offer versatility for family life, entertaining and home working. Five bedrooms, including two en-suite double bedrooms, are complemented by extensive private parking, a substantial garage/workshop and attractive landscaped gardens which wrap around the house. Its central village setting completes the appeal, with West Meon’s excellent amenities and the surrounding South Downs countryside within easy reach. The impressive double-height reception hall immediately creates a sense of space, with a striking galleried landing wrapping around the upper level and connecting the principal first-floor rooms. From here, glazed doors lead through to the main ground-floor living spaces, giving the house a light and open feel. Beyond, the superb open-plan kitchen and breakfast room forms the natural hub of the home. A substantial central island provides generous seating, while the large, glazed roof lantern floods the room with natural light. Bi-folding doors open the space directly onto the gardens and terraces, creating an excellent connection between inside and out. There are three further reception rooms: a generous sitting room, separate dining room and family room/study, allowing the accommodation to adapt easily to different stages of family life. A useful boot/utility area and store provide valuable additional practical space. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to five bedrooms, including two generous double bedrooms with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. Throughout, the combination of space, flexibility and thoughtful refurbishment has created a home equally well suited to everyday family life and entertaining. Outside Landscaped gardens wrap around Peel House, with mature hedging and established planting providing an attractive setting and a pleasing sense of space around the property. A generous, shingled driveway provides extensive off-road parking and access to the substantial garage/workshop. To the rear, bi-folding doors from the kitchen open directly onto a spacious contemporary terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond are lawned areas bordered by mature hedging and planting. The extensive parking, garage/workshop and well-designed outside areas are a particular asset, especially given the property's central village position.
