About this property
A wonderful property located in Owslebury, a pretty little village in the South Downs National Park, just south of the vibrant city of Winchester. Many lovely walks and cycle routes can be enjoyed from the front door and their are local stables nearby if you enjoy horse riding.
This purpose built single storey property is perfectly situated. Nestled in the picturesque Hampshire countryside, this is the ideal rural retreat yet within a short walk of the village pub. Why not take the children to Marwell Zoo, within walking distance of the property. If sight seeing is your preference you are just 5 miles from the historic city of Winchester, ancient capital of England under Alfred the Great.

The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric double oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice box, washing machine and dishwasher.
