Today, Hambledon offers an enviable blend of rural charm and everyday convenience. Facilities include a highly regarded primary school, a thriving village shop (conveniently located at the front of the property), a welcoming pub, historic church, boutique café, tearoom and the acclaimed restaurant at Hambledon Vineyard. The active village hall further enriches the sense of community, while the surrounding lanes and pathways of the South Downs National Park provide endless opportunities for walking, cycling and riding in unspoilt countryside.
