INTRODUCTION

Set within beautiful, mature gardens and in the very heart of the village, Walmsley Place is quite simply more than a development of modern apartments.

Built by McCarthy & Stone who are renowned for quality, the block has been developed with a lifestyle in mind, one that is also able to provide peace of mind, as well as a relaxed way of life. The thoughtful design includes a large communal room with further seating around the building both inside and out, in the well cared for fully landscaped gardens that have been beautifully laid out with shingled pathways, raised planted beds and pergolas. All this set within such a pretty village that brings with it, a wealth of its own charm and character.

LOCATION

The property benefits from being within walking distance to Bishops Waltham's vibrant village centre which offers a broad range of shops and local amenities including shops, post office, pubs, a doctor's surgery and regular bus services. The neighbouring village of Botley is only minutes away and provides a mainline railway station with both Winchester city centre and Southampton Airport being just under half an hour away. All main motorway access routes are within easy reach. This historic market town is set against a backdrop of beautiful Hampshire countryside and offers the convenience of great transport links.
