Whitchurch Removals

Hampshire’s smallest town, Whitchurch is on the southern edge of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a rich mosaic of rolling chalk hills, woodland, and pasture.

Occupying a very pretty spot on the River Test whilst being conveniently placed 13 miles south of Newbury, 12 miles north of Winchester, 8 miles east of Andover and 12 miles west of Basingstoke.

People have inhabited the area as far back as 400BC. There is also evidence of a Roman presence with archaeological excavations unearthing ancient tools and pottery.

In later history the River Test was an important waterway and home to five mills, supplying the water needed for grain, wool and paper production. Today the area is famous for salmon fishing.

Full of notable buildings, much of this charming town is a conservation area. Its beauty inspired Richard Adams, the author of Watership Down, who lived in Whitchurch until his death in 2016.

Homes are in high demand here and it is no surprise. Whitchurch property ranges from beamed 15th-century cottages, brick-and-flint terraces, modern executive homes as well as some rather grand manor houses on the outskirts of the town.

The area offers all your daily requirements when it comes to amenities, but other larger towns are close by and it’s just an hour direct into London’s Waterloo station.

It would be difficult to find a place with a more enviable lifestyle. Rural, full of heritage, a close-knit community and property which is cheap when compared to city prices.
