About this property

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Countryside Family Friendly House & Annex - completely detached

  • The Crest Droxford. A stylishly furnished family friendly detached house & separate annex tucked away in the South Coast countryside. We have no direct neighbours so you will feel like you have the countryside all to yourselves!

    ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ The Crest is perfect for multiple families & groups of friends - read the many reviews to see what our guests say!

    As soon as you walk through the door you'll see that both the house and the annex are different from your usual holiday home, furnished to a high standard and spaciously laid out with a high attention to detail. We loved it as soon as we bought it as our family home in 2010 and I know you will too!

    Enjoying a rural location, on the edge of Droxford Village in the beautiful Meon Valley & South Downs National Park. Droxford Village includes The Bakers Arms pub awarded 'best Sunday lunch', a shop & post office, great playground and access to plenty of bike trials & walks. We are 20 minutes away from Winchester/Southampton/Portsmouth/Chichester and many more!

    The large lawned garden at the Crest is a haven in the summer months, providing a perfect setting for al fresco dining with friends or family.

    Within the grounds are a childrens 2 storey wooden playhouse and swing, outside games, a large gas BBQ and various eating areas.

    Surrounding Area
    Along with many other beautiful villages, Exton is 2 miles away with the fabulous waterside Shoe Inn. West Meon is 5 miles away, with pubs serving great food and where the founder of Lords cricket rests; Wickham and Bishops Waltham are both 6 miles and host an array of little independent shops, cafes, restaurants & foodie pubs.
