LOCATION Hawkley is one of Hampshire's most unspoilt quintessential villages, where time has almost passed by, but the village is far from a "time warp" with an active community, wonderful local walks and miles of single track country lanes to explore, set amongst beautiful undulating countryside including the Ashford Hangers Nature Reserve nearby. Oak House is positioned in the heart of the community within walking distance of the village amenities, including the well regarded Hawkley Inn, church, village hall (with Montessori school), cricket ground with play area and tennis court. Petersfield with its comprehensive range of facilities including Waitrose and main line station is an easy drive or there is more local shopping and a station at Liss. The A3 with trunk road connections is within 5 minutes' drive meaning the larger centres of Guildford, Portsmouth (with ferry services) and Winchester via A31/A272 are within reasonable driving distance, as are the creeks and inlets of the South Coast. There are well regarded state and private schools within the region, including Bedales and Churcher's at Petersfield, Highfield at Liphook and Alton Convent.

The village is part of an ancient landscape virtually unaltered over the centuries and now in the heart of the South Downs National Park. The steep sided wooded hillsides are known as the "Hangers" and are largely beech woodland with some yew, ash and wild cherry on chalk which provide a habitat for many rare species.  

OUTSIDE A right of way over the neighbour's drive gives access to a parking area in front of the house and double garage to one side. A side gate leads to a private terrace and then on to the rear garden. The generous garden is mainly laid to lawn with several stocked beds, handy garden shed, mature boundary planting and a terrace ideal for entertaining. In all approx. 0.3 of an acre (0.13ha).
