Meadow Cottage

Meadow Cottage in Hinton Ampner, Hampshire is a charming thatched cottage within the village and the National Trust estate of Hinton Ampner.

 

Hinton Ampner is a small, sparsely populated farming village located near Bramdean, off the A272 in Hampshire, and is dominated by the Hinton Ampner House estate, now managed by the National Trust. It is near Alresford and 13 kilometres due east of Winchester. The village lies on the north slope of a long chalk ridge, with the house and church at its highest point. The area is part of the broader Hampshire Downs, a large area of predominantly chalk downland. The nearest large river is the River Itchen to the west of the area. To the north west of Hinton is the village of Cheriton and New Cheriton. The village of Kilmeston is to the south.

 

The village features a mix of housing styles, including timber-framed and thatched cottages, as well as brick and slate cottages, some potentially dating back to the 17th century. The presence of "Meadow Cottage" with a thatched roof aligns with the architectural character of older cottages in the village.

 

The National Trust manages the Hinton Ampner estate, which likely includes various cottages, some of which may have been historically used for estate workers or now serve as rental properties.
