Owners Comments
“Kings Somborne is a very enjoyable and pleasant place to live. It benefits from having a nice mix of established and young families and those who are retired or working. It is small enough to have a good community spirit but also offers a wide range of facilities for sport and social engagement seven days a week. It offers good access to Andover and Romsey, the cities of Winchester and Salisbury and the M3. This makes it an ideal country location for work, shop-ping and leisure.”

“Poyning’s is situated in an ideal position to exploit all that is on offer in a very quiet position well away from major traffic areas. A steady process of update and improvement has been undertaken on the property over the years to maintain its appeal.”
