Property Description
This beautifully appointed holiday accommodation for two is perfect for anyone wanting to walk the Hampshire Hangers and enjoy exploring the East Hampshire Downs.
Yes there are Mallard ducks on the pond within the owners' garden, so it's apt to name this very nicely appointed annexe, 'S60703'. This ground floor accommodation is bright and spacious. The setting is in one of the prettiest areas of East Hampshire, and the location means you can also reach Portsmouth, Winchester and Chichester with relative ease.
The annexe has a large and contemporary styled living room with a bright and well equipped kitchen off it. The bedroom has a king sized bed and again is very nicely presented. A shower room off the hall is fitted with an automatic power shower. Outside there is private outside space on a small terrace.
Steep Marsh and beyond
Steep Marsh is on the edge of the Hampshire Hangers, one of Hampshires most beautiful woodland areas. Consisting of 323 acres of woodland, with many magnificent beech trees. There is a rise and fall in the landscape here made the more impressive by the fact most the area is covered in trees. The scenery is outstanding and has been given the name Little Switzerland to this part of Hampshire.
Being amidst such beautiful scenery, S60703 falls comfortably within the South Downs National Park. It is just two miles from the historic market town of Petersfield. As the main junction between London to Portsmouth , and Midhurst to Winchester the town enjoyed a brisk trade in coaching days and in 1696-97 had no fewer than nine coaching inns listed. There are certainly no shortage of country inns in the vicinity today and many fine restaurants!
Immediately to the south of Petersfield, Butser Hill at 270 metres (890 feet) is the highest point on the South Downs. The climb to the top is challenging but the views are rewarding and there is a refreshment kiosk at the top! It forms part of the Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Hampshires biggest country park offering 20 miles of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It is a popular recreational area. We feature a link to the park under our section Places to visit for East Hampshire from our homepage.
