Location

Halls Farm Close is a popular collection of modern family homes on the northern fringes of Winchester. The modest development of individual homes was built in the 1990's by Clarke Homes and is popular with young families drawn to the area due to the close proximity of excellent local schooling and the city centre. There are a good range of local amenities nearby including a Waitrose and Aldi, take-aways and a doctor's surgery.

The pedestrianised high street in the city centre is just under 1.5 miles from the property where there are a wider selection of shops, independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, and recreational facilities such as the Theatre Royal, local cinema and the historic cathedral grounds. Winchester offers a fine balance of history, top-rate education, leisure pursuits and a thriving social scene.

There is an outstanding choice of state and private schooling locally from the nearby primary school in Weeke, to Henry Beaufort secondary school located within a convenient walking distance. There is also the ever-popular Peter Symonds College again within a walking distance. Winchester is also home to St Swithun's, Pilgrims, Winchester College, and Princes Mead, all of which are a particular draw to the city.

Winchester is very well connected via road and rail with London Waterloo, with a fast service of under 60 minutes from the city's railway station. The M3 allows easy access to London and the South coast connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport which serves a number of destinations worldwide. The A34 to the north provides access to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303 to the West Country.
