Situation

The property occupies an idyllic location within a mile of the centre of the village whilst also being a natural haven for wildlife and quiet reflection. Medstead is an active village with a church, public house, primary school, local shops and a number of village clubs and societies. The village is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside between Wield, Four Marks and Bentworth whilst only being about 11 miles from Winchester and 5 miles from Alton. Nearby footpaths connect into a network of public footpaths and bridleways, making the surrounding countryside fully accessible from the grounds. The historic market towns of Alton and Alresford both provide a very good range of facilities with two secondary schools, a sixth form college and mainline station to London Waterloo at Alton and the well renowned Perins Secondary School at Alresford. Many of the excellent independent schools in the area provide transport from nearby villages. The nearby village of Four Marks also provides a good range of day-to-day facilities including a selection of shops, bakery & café, M&S Simply Food and primary school.
