In the last few days Zaza Oswald, partner in charge of residential lettings for Carter Jonas in Hampshire, reports taking a call from someone eager to rent a new home for no better reason than fulfilling their 2016 resolution that the new year meant a new home.

 

Renting is the easiest way to achieve this, and if your resolve is small-scale, then how about a one bedroom garden flat in the very heart of Winchester (£995 per month EPC Band C)? It makes for an easy life with its superb lounge / dining room, linked open-plan kitchen, and large double bedroom, and bathroom with shower. There’s a front garden, rear courtyard, and a feature with gold-plated appeal, a garage.

 

Much larger, but still great value, is a four to five bedroom bungalow in Stoney Lane (£1,850 EPC C) that is almost as close to the rail station and has a great choice of schools close by, as well as Waitrose and Aldi. With contemporary bath and shower rooms and ample living space, as well as a driveway, garage, and gardens, it’s a great family base.

 

For fans of a move to the country there’s an interesting mix of properties. At West Meon (£1,350 EPC D) is a newly-refurbished three bedroom detached house set among large grounds. As well as the new kitchen, there are two living rooms and a new bathroom. Winchester, Alresford, Alton, Petersfield and, therefore, London, are all within easy reach.

 

Near Basingstoke is a brand new home at Farleigh Wallop (£2,000 EPC B) built to a stylish design with central gables front and back, both glazed from ground level to first floor apex. Behind them are an additional sitting area and entrance hall (flanked by dining and sitting rooms) at ground floor level and three bedrooms (one en-suite) and bathroom on the first floor. Rural bliss is twinned with easy access to the M3 and Basingstoke station!

 

Enjoying great views over surrounding countryside is a four bedroom house at Broughton (£2,450 EPC D) with easy commuting to Waterloo from Winchester or Grateley.

This comfortable family home is set in the midst of an excellent choice of state and private schools. The gardens are large to match the house but some gardening help is included in the rent.
