PICTURES of waterside settings in villages along the River Test bring back summertime memories as autumn begins to draw in.

Eastfield House is a stunning property in the village of Longparish.

Its extended Victorian elevations are reflected in its own lake in the parkland-style gardens which extend into a paddock and sprawl over more than five acres.

The refurbished home is on the market with agents Knight Frank for offers in excess of £1.5million.

This sum will secure the purchaser the property which has four reception rooms, six bedrooms, a conservatory and a cellar.

The master bedroom has a sweeping bay window and its own dressing room, off which is a bath and shower room.

The sixth bedroom, which has an en suite shower room, is located in the eaves space.

A conservatory runs across the side of Eastfield House and has French doors from both the drawing room and sitting room.

The kitchen-breakfast room has a central island, with a granite worktop, and units are set around a black Aga.

Other appliances include an oven and hob, microwave and fridge.

David Milligan, of Knight Frank, said: "Eastfield House offers a rare opportunity to purchase a property with exceptional accommodation and land which is an ideal mixture of gardens and paddocks."

A semi-detached home in Wherwell is one of the pair of Greenwich Cottages, fronting the River Test and with views over the water meadows.

The former estate cottage is selling through agents Lane Fox with a price guide of £475,000.

The river flows dramatically through the front garden to create an idyllic location.

Refurbished in recent years, the cottage has a sitting room with solid oak flooring and an imposing cast-iron fireplace.

The dining room has original pine floorboards and another cast-iron fire-place.

Hand-made units inset with appliances line the kitchen, off which there is a utility room and shower room.

A working cast-iron fireplace can also be found as a special feature in the master bedroom, while the other two bedrooms have feature fireplaces as well. The bedrooms share a family bathroom.
