About this property
The Old Meeting Hall
After a day out exploring the glorious Hampshire countryside, return to The Old Meeting Hall and relax in your own private hot tub.. All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Smart TV, Amazon Firestick, Woodburner
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Induction Hob, Combi Microwave/Oven/Grill, Fridge/Freezer, Washing Machine
Bedroom: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included. Welcome pack. Small enclosed courtyard with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Hot tub for 4 (private). One small dog welcome. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking. Please note: No children.. Set within the pretty village of King’s Somborne, The Old Meeting Hall is an attractive, single-storey property sitting next door to the owners pretty thatch cottage. It has been converted to a very high standard, offering stylish and comfortable accommodation for a couple. The private hot tub is the perfect way to relax and unwind after a day out exploring this beautiful area perfect for any time of the year. Or, why not relax in front of the cosy wood burner. A pub serving delicious food and local shops are a few minutes’ walk away.
For keen walkers and cyclists, the Test Way and the Clarendon Way are on the doorstop. For the fishing enthusiasts, the River Test is the pre-eminent chalk stream and has exceptional clarity of water which is prized by fly fishers the world over. Physically, it is the longest, 39 miles from source to estuary. Historically, it is generally regarded as the birthplace of modern fly fishing. This area is also where the yesteryear TV programme ‘Wurzle Gummidge’ was filmed.
The Meeting Hall offers immaculately presented, light and airy open plan living/dining/kitchen area, tastefully decorated and furnished with relaxing tones, practical tiled flooring and high ceilings. The double bedroom has a lovely wrought iron bed and trendy en-suite digital shower room. The sound of gentle flowing water can be heard alongside, which runs through the owners pretty gardens at certain times of the year. This lovely holiday home is an ideal country escape and the perfect place to explore the historic cities of Winchester, 9 miles, Salisbury, 18 miles, and the maritime city of Southampton, 16 miles.
The nearest town is Stockbridge, 3 miles, with its abundance of independent specialist shops including tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, many serving local produce, as well as art galleries, craft and gift shops, clothing and traditional butchers. The prosperous market town of Romsey is 7 miles, and being the larger of the two towns, it has all of the above and more. Romsey also has an independent department store, supermarket and a magnificent Norman Abbey dating back to 907AD. Just outside the town and set in extensive parkland is the 18th century mansion of Broadlands, the former home of Lord Palmerston and the late Lord Louis Mountbatten. Broadlands is open to the public July and August, as well as hosting a range of shows, concerts and events throughout the year. Other places to visit within an hours drive include Mottisfont Abbey and Rose Garden (National Trust) Hillier’s Arboretum, The New Forest National Park, Beaulieu Abbey and Motor Museum, Exbury gardens, Stonehenge, Wheyhill Hawk Conservancy, The Army Flying Museum, Highclere Castle, Marwell Zoo, Portsmouth Dockyard and the many beautiful beaches of the South Coast. Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
