It’s Spring and already there’s an urge to get out and about to enjoy the fresh air.

 

The best way to achieve that is a home in the countryside and Carter Jonas has a pleasing selection to fit the bill.

 

At Preshaw, near Winchester, is a three bedroom home (£1,195 per month ECP Band E) in a farmyard setting alongside the South Downs Way. There’s a lounge with woodburner, kitchen / dining room, separate utility with cloakroom, and a family bathroom. The pleasant, sunny garden has a vegetable plot and orchard.

 

At the heart of village life, and close to highly-regarded state and private schools, is Murray Cottage, Monxton (£1,695 EPC E), with two reception rooms. Its large, private garden runs down to the Pilhill Brook, a tributary the River Test. One of its staircases serves the master bedroom with an en-suite complementing the ground floor bathroom while the other serves another two double bedrooms. A mile from the A303, it is also close to the London commuting rail station at Grateley.

 

There’s a choice of three properties at £2,250per month. The Garden House, Nether Wallop (EPC C), is a contemporary home within easy reach of Winchester, Stockbridge, Andover, and Salisbury, and a wide choice of schools. The master is en-suite, there are two double bedrooms, one en-suite, a further bathroom, and a fourth bedroom / home office / TV room in addition to a sitting room and super kitchen / dining room.
