Outside are an old oast house with one bedroom, and a magnificent flint barn with former planning permission for conversion to holiday cottages which has now lapsed, but could be reinstated.
Gardens lie to the south of the house with sweeping lawns and some good mature trees, fruit trees, vegetable garden, fruit cage and an attractive millpond.
Lower House Farm is situated in the village of East Meon which lies within the recently formed South Downs National Park. The River Meon flows throughout the village and has a renowned Norman church, a primary school, village store, post office and two pubs. Petersfield nearby has an excellent rage of local shops.
