A quiet riverside hamlet

With only a scatter of dwellings rather than a village centre, Brambridge is one of the smaller and quieter places this site covers. Brambridge House, a Grade II* listed former country house rebuilt after an 1872 fire, sits on the riverbank and is the hamlet's best-known landmark.

Part of the Colden Common parish

As one of the hamlets within the Colden Common civil parish, Brambridge is covered by Winchester City Council for planning purposes, in the same way as the rest of the parish.

Riverside ground conditions

Sitting on the Itchen, some plots in Brambridge have low-lying, riverside ground conditions, which is worth mentioning to an installer when discussing drainage and the right base for a garden room.
