Situated on the banks of the River Itchen, within 150 acres of pristine parkland, make yourself at home in this stunning Elizabethan-era stately home. You can count yourself among illustrious historical figures who've stayed here, including Charles II and George IV. This apartment is blessed with plenty of natural light with windows that overlook Avington's medieval and main courtyards. Each of the individually decorated bedrooms features exposed oak beams, elegant antique furniture and vibrant floral prints that make them feel more contemporary. Meanwhile, the divine drawing and dining rooms are ideal for social evenings with up to six guests in total. With the surrounding parkland, it's easy to forget that Avington Park is just five miles outside England's ancient capital city of Winchester. Walk around the area by the cathedral and you'll discover exemplary eateries and the country's largest farmers' market in what is known locally as Hampshire’s foodie capital.
