Owner’s Comments
“More than anything Furzedown has been a great place for our son to grow up. He's had an almost Enid Blyton-like childhood with adventures and den building in the fields and woods around the house, enjoying real independence.  We know that he's safe, a stones throw from home, but with space to explore on his own or with friends.  He's able to ride to school in the summer, or sledge across the fields in winter! He has had a fantastic education at the small village primary where he has thrived in a school with a real community feel and high educational standards.”

“I've no doubt that one of the things that we will miss most is the quiet environment where we can sit in the garden without any noise from roads or cars, and of course the views.   Whether it's opening the curtains to see the sun rising over the hills on the far side of the valley and taking the dog for a walk across the frosty fields, or relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine watching the sun set - I can think of no better way to start and end a day!”

“What first attracted us to Furzedown Cottages was the feeling of space, away from the hustle and bustle of town. It’s provided an ideal compromise: peace and quiet but far from remote. There's a real feeling of living in the heart of the countryside but with easy access to Stockbridge, Romsey and Winchester.  We've really loved the easy access to some great walks straight from the house, it’s been like having Parnholt Woods and Farley Mount as an enormous extension to our own garden.”
