Redenham Park

Redenham House

Redenham Park is an estate lying in the civil parishes of Appleshaw and Fyfield, Hampshire, England, surrounding Redenham House, a Grade II* listed country house. [1]

The house is a late 18th century classical mansion faced with Bath stone, standing to two storeys with a slate roof and sash windows, and a central porch with coupled Ionic columns.[2] It was built in 1784 for Sir Charles Pollen.

The park and gardens have been described as 'the perfect setting for a Jane Austen novel'. They comprise 2.5 hectares of garden, 24 hectares of parkland, 36.5 hectares of woodland and 337 hectares of farmland. [3] The gardens are featured in The Good Gardens Guide and are open to the public by appointment.[4]
