Dating back at least to the early 18th century The Old Forge at Meonstoke was extended in the Victorian era and again more recently to now offer lovely family accommodation in this prime village location. Beautiful mellow brick elevations under a tiled roof conform to classic architecture and the home has been fully refurbished retaining wonderful character.

The double aspect sitting room has French doors to the terrace and a large bay window opposite an open sided inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. On the other side of the fireplace lies a large living room in the original part of the house with exposed beams and plenty of space for sitting and dining. The kitchen sits at the rear and has a range of painted units with ample storage, a door to the garden and the adjacent utility room and cloakroom.

The first floor landing opens to a lovely study area in front of a rear facing window. There are three double bedrooms, a fourth, single room and a smartly re-fitted shower room complete with walk-in shower. Planning consent has been gained to create an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom, enlarging the sitting room below in the process.

The pretty front garden of The Old Forge is enclosed by brick walls and a brick laid path leads to the front door. Across the rear is a paved terrace running onto the south westerly garden with planted borders around the lawn. Off road parking is provided on the gravel driveway and there is also a single garage.

Originally a Saxon settlement, Meonstoke is surrounded by glorious Meon Valley countryside providing a superb backdrop for the 13th century church, pub, village hall and primary school. A disused railway line runs from Wickham to Alton through the village and is now a wooded track used for walking and hacking.

Grade II listed, this property has come to the market for sale with Harringtons at a price of £695,000. Contact the Wickham office on 01329 834835
