Burkham House, Manor house in Burkham, Hampshire, England
Burkham House is a red-brick manor set within expansive parkland situated between Bentworth village and Lasham Hill, accessible via the A339 road toward Basingstoke. The grounds provide a rural setting with the main residence positioned among mature trees and open landscaping.
The manor was first documented in 1316 when owned by John Daleron and later passed to Robert Hunt after 1590 from the Windsor family. Successive owners reshaped the building through different periods, adapting it to changing needs and tastes.
The estate represents the evolution of British country living through centuries, from farming operations to grand residential transformations.
The property can be accessed from the A339 road and sits about 9 kilometers northwest of Alton town. Reaching the house involves traveling through countryside roads, so visiting with a car is practical.
In 1896, extensive renovations added a west wing entrance and modified the garden layout by removing conifers and creating distinct enclosures.
