The cottage is approached via a stone pathway with a broad array of flower and
shrub borders to either side. The garden is a very special feature of the
cottage and has been landscaped to take full advantage of the setting with a
natural stone paved terrace providing an ideal area for outdoor entertaining
and relaxation. There are a variety of climbers and shrubs together with a
selection of specimen plants.
**Situation**
The cottage occupies a tranquil location and is set between a terrace of four
cottages within the village conservation area. Selborne has a strong community
with a public house - 'The Selborne Arms', St Mary’s Church, village hall and
Selborne C of E Primary School. The village is set amidst fine Hampshire
countryside between the villages of Hawkley and Farringdon within the South
Downs National Park. Renowned for its association with Gilbert White, the 18th
Century naturalist, the village is home to Gilbert White’s House and Museum
and is surrounded by scenery of outstanding natural beauty lying at the foot
of a beech covered hanger. White’s Café forms part of the Museum and is a
popular village meeting place. The larger centres of Liss and Alton
collectively provide a range of facilities as well as mainline railway
stations to London Waterloo. In addition, the A3 can be accessed at Liss
providing a route to London and the south coast.
