The private airport at Farnborough is also less than 30 minutes away. Mainline train services from Hook and Basingstoke will get you to London Waterloo within an hour.

A new stable block includes four loose boxes, a tack room and store, with direct access to a paddock behind.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 19 acres.
An outdoor swimming pool is sheltered by mature hedging and surrounded by a sun terrace. A thatched pool house provides a covered area for summer dining and houses a changing room and boiler room. Additionally, two carports provide garaging and there is a separate workshop and kennel as well as two Victorian-style greenhouses.
Built in 2018, the main house combines the style of a Georgian country house and an Arts and Crafts-style farmhouse with views over its own land to the Hampshire countryside beyond.
