Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Nestled in an historic Elizabethan Manor House once owned by Jane Austen's brother, this unique apartment exudes character, with its uneven floors and ceilings and quirky furniture creating a distinctive charm. The North Wing Apartment
provides a warm, cosy and serene space in the stunning Hampshire countryside, with full access to the Gardens and Parkland. An ideal escape all year round in a location where the echoes of the past meet the comfort of the present.
The space
In The North Wing Apartment, there are two bedrooms downstairs: bedroom 1 is the largest, opposite the kitchen. The mattress is memory foam and will give you a fantastic night's sleep. Bedroom 2, our 'botanical room', is opposite the downstairs bathroom. There is an attic bedroom (bedroom 3) upstairs to the left of the stairs. All bedrooms are doubles, and also have a comfortable chair and clothes storage. The kitchen is downstairs, and fully equipped. There are two shower rooms - one on each floor. There is also a sitting room on the top floor, with books and board games for you to enjoy.
Please note that we're in the midst of giving our Apartment a fresh new look, so some of the rooms are newly decorated, whilst others have not yet been upgraded. What the Apartment lacks in sleek finishes, it makes up for in warmth and character. Expect a touch of nostalgia combined with the comfort of a well-loved space.
Guest access
The Apartment is in the main Chawton House building, but separated from the main House. You are welcome to visit the House during opening hours (entry included in the rental fee), but it is alarmed after hours. You have free range of the grounds during your stay.
Other things to note
The entrance to the apartment is up a steep and narrow flight of stairs so unfortunately is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

From the host
Chawton House is a short walk past thatched cottages and fields from the idyllic village of Chawton. En route, you can stop at St. Nicolas Church, at the bottom of our drive, and see the graves of Jane Austen's mother and sister. In the village, you will find Jane Austen's House, a pub called The Greyfriar, and a tea shop, Cassandra’s Cup. The village has a park, and from the car park, you can access Mingledown Woods, part of the Chawton House estate.
A little further afield (10 minute drive or 30 minute walk) is the historic market town of Alton, which offers a typical high street - supermarkets including Sainsburys and M&S, cafes, pubs and restaurants, and access to the Watercress Line, a heritage steam railway.
The beautiful city of Winchester, with its iconic cathedral, is 16 miles away and accessible by public transport.
There are many beautiful walks in the surrounding area. Farringdon is the perfect base for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, and The Rose and Crown offers friendly service and good food.
