The Property - The Orangery enjoys a unique corner position in the former Mews to Leydene House being one of just 6 set around a courtyard to the side of the original house. These all form part of the larger Leydene Park Estate which is made up of 31 houses in a lovely parkland setting. It was a private house that was then requisitioned during the war. Leydene House used to be the Officers Mess to HMS Mercury. All residents have use of the communal grounds and tennis courts. The Orangery has an exceptional position on the southwestern corner with a wide private terrace and a full length dining/garden room with doors out to the terrace providing wonderful entertaining and living space. The large windows allow for a lovely light interior but with two further reception rooms and kitchen. Upstairs the 3 double bedrooms have lovely views, two of them with doors opening to a fine wide balcony. Extensive views can be enjoyed to the southwest towards Southampton, the Solent and the Isle of Wight in the distance from the roof terrace. The overall space is versatile and manageable with lock up and leave convenience yet amazing storage in the extensive cellar which has an external staircase.
Outside - Located just outside the charming courtyard is a single garage with a parking space in front. There is a lovely private area of garden accessed off steps from the wide south facing terrace and further access to the cellar stairs. Beyond this are the further areas of parkland owned by the whole estate and there are three tennis courts for use by all of the residents.
Location - Leydene Park is an exclusive private estate situated just over two miles south of the thriving village of East Meon which has two pubs, a church, a village shop and primary school, together with a modern recreation ground and village hall. The park itself sits on a ridge of the South Downs with amazing views to the southwest. The popular market town of Petersfield is 7.5 miles away and has a mainline station with services to London Waterloo in just over an hour and this is also where you can access the A3, which provides good regional links to Guildford and the M25 beyond and the South Coast. The property sits in the heart of the South Downs National Park providing extensive recreational and leisure activities and the South Downs Way runs along the northern side of the park. The larger regional centres of Winchester, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. There is a wide selection of independent schools within reach including Portsmouth Grammar School, Churcher's, Bedales and Ditcham Park.
