Estate Agents Hartley Wintney

Hartley Wintney is in the Hart district of North-East Hampshire. The parish includes the joined village of Phoenix Green to the south and surrounding hamlets of Dipley, West Green, Elvetham and Hartfordbridge, as well as large wooded areas such as Yateley Heath Wood and part of Hazeley Heath. The River Hart flows to the north-east of the village, the River Whitewater forms the western parish boundary and the M3 motorway forms the southern boundary.

The village has a typical wide Hampshire main street, lined with local businesses, shops, public houses and the red-brick parish church of St John. It is particularly well-known for a proliferation of good antique shops. At the southern end is the village green and duck pond (with thatched duck house). The cricket green, home of the oldest cricket club in Hampshire, is behind the shops adjoining a second picturesque duck pond and Dutch-gabled farmhouse. There are many oak trees on the upper end of the village green, planted by Lady St John Mildmay in response to the call, in 1807, by Admiral Collingwood following the Battle of Trafalgar for landowners to plant oaks to provide timber for naval ships.

Nearby landmarks include, St Mary’s Church, Victoria Hall, West Green House and Elvetham Hall, now the Elvetham Hotel. Elvetham Hall was originally a secondary home of Queen Jane Seymour's father and her nephew entertained Queen Elizabeth I there. West Green House is an 18th century country house owned by the National Trust, the gardens are open to the public and opera is performed here in the summer.
