Set within 150 acres of private parkland majestically situated along the banks of the River Itchen, make the most of an exceptional opportunity to experience life in a privately owned stately home that includes both Charles II and George IV among its illustrious guests. With wonderful rooms overlooking the charming Italian garden, this beautiful ground-floor flat has four luxurious bedrooms that offer up to eight guests a chance to enjoy the good life. A gorgeous drawing room faces the quaint floral courtyard, making it the perfect spot to relax with the Sunday papers throughout the year. Despite the feeling of seclusion, you're actually only around five miles outside the charming cathedral city of Winchester.

The birthplace of cricket and where Jane Austen was laid to rest, your stay here is guaranteed to be a quintessentially English experience.
