The Old Rectory sits in the rolling countryside of the Candover Valley and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a country house within glorious grounds. The property, which is believed to have originally been a rectory, dates back to the 18th century and has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment by the current owners.

The majority of the rooms have lovely views of gardens and beyond over the rolling hills of the surrounding Candover valley countryside. There are a wealth of period features together with modern touches. In particular is the new installed elegant kitchen, and the creation of a spacious family room/cinema room.


The hamlet of Swarraton and adjoining Northington lie in glorious countryside at the southern end of the Candover valley which is justifiably popular and represent what is finest about the Hampshire countryside.

The nearby Georgian market town of Alresford (about 4 miles) provides a wide range of independent shops and restaurants, whilst Basingstoke, Alton and the cathedral city of Winchester are all within 13 miles. There are pubs in Preston Candover (Purefoy Arms) and very local is The Woolpack.

The M3 (J7) is about 7.9 miles and there are mainline stations at Basingstoke (London Waterloo from 44 minutes), Micheldever (London Waterloo from 63 minutes) and Winchester (London Waterloo from 58 minutes).

The surrounding countryside offers excellent walking and riding including the Wayfarers Walk which passes through Brown Candover. Test Valley Golf Club and Alresford Golf Club are within 11 miles and the south coast and the Isle of Wight is renowned for its sailing including Cowes Week. The Grange Park Opera season at Northington is about 3.6 miles away and there are theatres and cinemas in Winchester and Basingstoke.

There are well regarded prep and secondary schools including Twyford, The Pilgrims' School, St Swithun's School, Winchester College and Bedales as well as Peter Symonds Sixth Form College in Winchester.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 22, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
