Opis:

Redmarley, or Redmarley d'Abitot, is a delightful village situated on the borders of the Three Counties, an area of the countryside characterised by traditional farms and wooded hills. The property can be found within the heart of this quiet village, though it is not overlooked and has a good degree of privacy. Historically, the original settlement of Redmarley dates back to pre-Norman times with its meaning believed to be "the clearing around the reedy pool", though the old village pond is no longer in existence. The area offers a sought after, rural quality of life combined with excellent road links to the rest of the country.
