Bramley, Primrose & Marigold Cottages In Micheldever

These are charming thatched cottages in the village of Micheldever, Hampshire, England. This picturesque village is renowned for its well-preserved, historic thatched and timber-framed cottages, offering a glimpse into traditional English rural life.

 

Micheldever boasts some very old thatched cottages, with structures like Shillingbury and Corner Cottage dating back to the 15th century (around 1453), making them among the oldest in the village.

 

The cottages here showcase classic English architectural styles, with features such as exposed timber frames, unique thatch patterns, and in some cases, distinctive elements like the thatch griffin on Griffin Cottage. The village setting, with its traditional pubs and historic buildings like the former bake house and post office, contributes to the idyllic atmosphere surrounding these cottages.

 

Micheldever is located in Hampshire, southern England, offering a peaceful rural escape while remaining within reach of larger towns and attractions in the region.

 

The village and civil parish is situated 10 km north of Winchester. It lies upon the River Dever.

 

The river, and village, formerly part of Stratton Park (Not to be confused with Stratton Park in Kempshott, Basingstoke), lie on a Hampshire grass downland, underlain with chalk and flint. Parts of the river now disappear in summer through lack of replenishment, evaporation and, more specifically, the porous nature of the bedrock.
