ALRESFORD has been voted the best small market town in Hampshire.

The survey, by the Daily Telegraph, revealed estate agents rated the settlement as one of the UK's top 50 country towns. Arundel, in West Sussex, was top.

The newspaper said towns like Alresford were becoming increasingly desirable', as much for their natural beauty as their shops and schools.

Explaining why the town was so attractive to homebuyers, Alistair Williamson, manager of Keats Marshall Bendall in Alresford, said: "In round terms you have got a traditional Georgian façade town, which offers all the everyday facilities and a great array of independent shops. It's surrounded by some great countryside and it's easy on the eye.''

If you ask estate agents they will say that as the houses are overpriced and they get more commission. I worked there a few years ago and the shops are c#ap there.s no supermarkets to speak of except coops and hence everything is overpriced, the library is a joke it shuts for lunch.Don,t care if I never see the place again

Henrythe6th - The houses are a little steep but look at the location of Alresford. The area has such lovely countryside, fabulous schools with a sense of country feeling but not living out in the sticks. The co-op has just had a re-fit and it's a fab shop now with everything you reguire and it is not overpriced at all. We love Alresford if you don't like then please stay away from our lovely town and stay in Gosport Ha Ha I know where I'd prefer to be.

You bet it's not in the same class as Romsey. It is a far better place for two reasons.
First. It is nearer to Portsmouth, the heart of Hampshire's riviera, and
Second, Denzil does not live there!

Not another skate. Because I am perfectly happy with Romsey thanks. Why don't you go and live there? I'm sure you could park your caravan somewhere.

Nah, Petersfield is nicer, more amenities, much more going on. Generally very nice, good for families. Far enough from Skatesville to be pleasant, but still close if you absolutely have to visit the place.

I don't live there any more, bit of a shame.
