Character features include period fireplaces, beams and flooring. Accommodation is spacious, and includes a wonderful dining room with an inglenook fireplace which opens into the kitchen, which has an old well incorporated into the floor. Double doors lead out from the sitting room to the terrace.
Upstairs all four bedrooms have solid oak floors - two, including the master suite, are on the first floor and two on the second floor.

Steynes Farm is situated in the Meon Valley between Bishops Waltham and Corhampton in some of Hampshire's finest countryside. Bishops Waltham is a market town with a good range of shops and more comprehensive facilities are to be found eleven miles away in Winchester.
