There is also extensive parkland which includes a football pitch, cricket pitch, tennis courts, an enclosed children’s playground, outdoor exercise equipment and plenty of room left for dog walkers. To the back of this leisure area is the local church, St Leonard’s which traces its history back to the twelfth century. This whole area boasts frequent visitors from various wildlife such as deer, foxes and many species of birds. The characterful Edwardian Bursledon Village Hall takes pride of place in the lane and accommodates regular activities and clubs throughout the week as well as hosting traditional fayres, plays and other social events. If you have any pets, the highly acclaimed Adelaide Veterinary Centre is approximately 100 meters away from the property.
The area
Bursledon is a picturesque village situated on the River Hamble in Hampshire, renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, sailing facilities and marinas. Located within the borough of Eastleigh, nearby villages include Swanwick, Hamble-le Rice, Netley and Sarisbury Green.
Old Bursledon is one of the Hamble’s best-kept secrets. The River Hamble is an internationally famed centre of yachting and motorboats and boasts several marinas that offer extensive facilities for both residential and visiting yachtsmen. The Elephant Boatyard located in Old Bursledon dates back centuries and is where some of Henry viii's fleet was built. Submerged remnants of the fleet can still be found in the River Hamble. Bursledon's waterside location and woodland surroundings made it a natural location for building wooden ships. However, by the 1870s, the shipbuilding trade had disappeared from Bursledon and the main industry was arable agriculture, particularly the growing of strawberries destined for the London markets. The village, particularly the Jolly Sailor pub and the Elephant Boatyard, were used as the primary filming venue for the popular 1980s BBC TV soap opera Howards' Way.
Locally, there are numerous pubs and restaurants to try out, but if you would like to stretch your legs a little more, you can take a stroll to the waterside villages that line the Hamble’s route to the sea. Visit them by water taxi or head upriver in a tender to Botley for some truly spectacular scenery. The area has excellent commuter transport links via the train station, the A27 and the M27 motorway that links the neighbouring cities of Southampton, Portsmouth, and Winchester. Nearby Southampton Airport Parkway train station it is an approximately a 1 hour 20 minutes ride to London Waterloo.
Additionally, The New Forest National Park is just 10 miles away and is known for its rich wildlife and historical significance. The University of Southampton’s main campus is less than five miles away.
