Bentley

The Properties
The Grade II Listed properties are believed to be dated from the 16th century with later additions and with mellow red brick elevations under a tiled roof and some exposed timber framing inside to each cottage adding to the character. Both cottages are habitable having been rented for many years but would benefit from modernisation.

Situation
Although rural, the cottages are remarkably accessible and located on the Hampshire/Surrey border only a few miles from Farnham and close to Bentley which has a vibrant community and where there is a village shop with Post Office, primary school, pub, church and station (trains to Waterloo). The A31 provides good regional transport to Guildford (A3) and Winchester and the M3 is also within easy reach at Hook/Odiham. Farnham and Alton provide extensive shopping and schooling options, and the wider area is well catered for with top performing state and independent schools including Alton College and Lord Wandsworth College at Long Sutton. The extensive network of local lanes, footpaths and bridleways provide amazing walks (including the pilgrimage route St. Swithun’s Way) and many cycling routes, ideal for any country/outdoor enthusiasts. Access to Alice Holt Forest is less than a mile away, run by Forestry England, and offers 247 hectares of woodland walks, cycle tracks and numerous other outdoor activities for both children and adults.
