Blackberry Lane lies to the South Eastern side of Four Marks village and is well regarded for its attractive range of mainly individual detached homes of much varying ages, sizes and designs. Miltondene is handily placed for a shortcut footpath leading to the village shopping centre. The road is strategically placed for the primary school, Church of the Good Shepherd, village hall and nursery, and country walks in the neighbourhood. At the far end of the road, Brislands Lane leads to the recreation area including a cricket ground and allotments whilst the village has a diverse range of shops with a garage/M&S outlet, Tesco and Co-Op mini stores, eateries, doctors and vets surgeries, a golf course, garden centre, bus services and the Mid Hants Steam Railway Line locally known as 'the Alps' due to the elevated location enjoyed by Four Marks. Alton's Georgian High Street is within 4 miles drive with its family and multiple traders, Waitrose, M&S, Sainsbury's, Iceland and Boots stores, regular open air and farmers market events, and an intriguing history witnessed by a visit to the Curtis Museum.
