Vernham Dean is the largest local village and is about a 1/4 mile away; it has a great pub, The George, as well as a church, C of E primary school, playing fields and a village hall.

The market town of Hungerford is 8 miles away. With its large open market square and numerous pubs, this bustling market town is suffused in history. But what you might not know is that contemporary Hungerford is home to a fresh and energetic vibe, stoked by some great independent shopping, a sparkling array of nearby dining options and a thriving café culture. If that wasn’t enough, its locality to outstanding schools, great leisure facilities and abundant footpaths, mean the town is fast becoming West Berkshire’s most sought after small town.

Andover lies 9 miles away, situated on the River Anton which is a major source of the Test. It has excellent communications with a main line station to Waterloo as well as road access via the A303 and M3. It also has a good range of shopping facilities.
