About this property
Whitchurch and Overton 2 miles. A self-contained wing of the owners' attractive Hampshire cottage, set in a rural location on the edge of Watership Down country in northern Hampshire. Comfortably furnished throughout with a king-size double bed and French windows opening out onto beautiful gardens, this Hampshire holiday cottage offers a delightful base for couples wishing to explore this lovely area. After a day out and about you can snuggle up in front of the warming woodburner in the charming sitting room of this Hampshire cottage, or enjoy a glass of wine on the attractive enclosed patio, soaking up the last of the sun. The extensive gardens of this Hampshire holiday cottage are a delight, boasting well-kept flower beds and lawns, where you can play croquet. There are lovely walks to be had from this Hampshire holiday cottage across the rolling chalk landscape, immortalised by local author Richard Adams in Watership Down - the nearby pub, serving good food and ales also bears this name! Within a short drive of your Hampshire cottage are the River Test, beloved by fly fishermen, the pretty village of Overton, Whitchurch Silk Mill and, for fans of the TV series Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle. Alternatively, the ancient cities of Winchester, Salisbury and Southampton, and Portsmouth's historic dockyard, are easily accessible. A delightful Hampshire cottage to be enjoyed at any time of the year!
