Redenham Park

Redenham House

Redenham Park is an estate lying in the civil parishes of Appleshaw and Fyfield (where the 2011 Census population for the house was included), 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]
