A wintry early evening in Odiham. Before curtains are drawn, warm light spills out from windows framing elegant drawing rooms in handsome Georgian townhouses and cosily beamed kitchens in colour-washed cottages. This old market town in the north-east corner of the county is perfect for those charmed by a picturesque street scene, for it has one of the most outstanding collections of historic buildings in Hampshire with some 167 listed buildings in the parish. Character period properties currently on the market include a quaint cottage with 14th century origins on Farnham Road and an individual home with stunning vaulted reception room, converted from what were Odiham’s Assembly Rooms, on King Street. Both are on the market with McCarthy Holden estate agents – the former for £525,000 and the latter for £585,000.
