3 HYDEN WOOD

KEY FEATURES

Positioned just outside of East Meon and enveloped by the mesmerizing vistas of the South Downs National Park stands Rosewood. This exquisite five-bedroom haven comes with three elegant reception rooms, a dual garage, a self-contained annex, and a refreshing swimming pool, all set within an exclusive enclave of merely six residences. An impressive driveway, broad enough to accommodate numerous vehicles, ushers you to the property. The forward-thinking motor enthusiast will appreciate the modern electric vehicle charging station conveniently positioned at the garage’s forefront.

Stepping into the property, a grand porch greets you with its spaciousness and ample storage. Beyond lies the hallway, serving as your gateway to the delightful groundfloor spaces.

The expansive living room effortlessly extends into a luminous conservatory, where one can soak in serene garden vistas. To add warmth on cooler evenings, the living room is furnished with a soothing log burner.

At the home’s heart lies the extensive kitchen — an epicentre for contemporary families. Outfitted with cutting-edge appliances and abundant countertop and storage facilities, including a built-in dresser, it’s every homemaker’s dream. Adjacent, the snug provides a perfect retreat for children, while the designated dining area, complemented by French doors, invites the outside in, connecting seamlessly with the verdant patio and garden.

Intelligent enhancements to the residence comprise a roomy laundry area brimming with storage options, a functional boot room to ensure the outdoors remain where they belong, and a handy shower room, ideal after those pool moments, accessible via the boot room.

Rounding off the ground level is a plush sitting room, adorned with a charming bay window. Currently a home office sanctuary, its versatility promises potential as a play space or even a sixth sleeping quarter.

Ascending, the sun-drenched galleried landing, equipped with storage solutions, captures the eye, thanks to the vast window showcasing the pristine front garden.

The magnificent primary suite, crowned with a balcony offering restful garden views, stands as a tranquil sanctuary. Its expansive en-suite bathroom and connected dressing area, equipped with integrated wardrobes, enhance its luxury quotient.

Alongside the master suite are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a comprehensive family bathroom, ensuring there’s a place for everyone.

SELLER INSIGHT

The houses in Hyden Wood were built for officers of HMS Mercury and likely had no expense spared in their day and it was a combination of the house and the garden together that attracted us initially. The house is generously proportioned and ideal for family gatherings, whilst the garden provides an excellent open space with trees interspersed attracting a wide variety of wildlife,” say the owners.

“We moved here in August 2018 and have made improvements during that time, including decorating and replacing flooring and carpets throughout. The kitchen has been significantly upgraded, the en-suite has been completely remodelled, and we fitted a new fireplace and wood burner in the lounge, which given our seemingly endless supply of wood, means we are cozy and cost effective in winter.”

“The house is well positioned to access a variety of locations, including the South Downs Way which provides many opportunities to explore the countryside. Local villages run a range of events and Petersfield is our closest town which has a good range of amenities; we can recommend Josie’s for breakfast with Ruby and Monty’s for lunch. Steam train enthusiasts will appreciate the Watercress line nearby or head just 30 minutes down the road to Southsea for a paddle in the sea.”

“The outside space is excellent with a generous front garden and a large, private, and peaceful rear garden behind which is ancient woodland home to wildlife such as owls and deer. In May 2016, the South Downs National Park became the world’s newest International Dark Sky Reserve and the garden benefits from these dark skies for star gazing. The large patio area is ideal for entertaining and BBQs, whilst the pool provides great family entertainment for all ages or for a cheeky G&T in the evening.”

“We have held lots of family events here and have taken the opportunity to race our electric go-karts (Hacky Racers) around the garden. At Christmas we typically have 4 generations of the family staying in the house and in the annex above the garage; the accommodation is very flexible and certainly could be classed as multigenerational.”

“Our favourite room has to be the kitchen. It provides a large ‘L’ shaped space overlooking the rear garden and has a dining area allowing you to prepare food and chat to guests whilst the grandchildren play in the snug area fully in view.”*
