LOCATION

Hill Brow is a highly desirable Hampshire hamlet, sited within the South Downs National Park and it is conveniently located 1 mile southwest of Rake, 0.5 miles southeast of Liss and 3 miles northeast of Petersfield.

With acres of open countryside and extensive forests on the doorstep and with many miles of public pathways and bridleways to explore, this is an excellent spot for an active family or those seeking a broad range of local outdoor pursuits.

There is a well-regarded village pub within a comfortable walk, whilst the larger village of Liss is just under a mile away and provides shops for all day-to-day needs, a mainline railway station (Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo) and schools for infants and juniors.

The A3 bypasses the village providing quick access to the south coast and also to the M25 and London to the north. The opening of the Hindhead tunnel has enhanced the attraction of this sought-after location, often enticing those wishing to move out from the traditional commuter belt and suburbs but still being able to return there for work.
