Description

Upham is a beautiful area with one main road running through its core. The feel is very countrified and properties vary in size and age with nearly all having the benefit of a countryside outlook. In Lower Upham there is a post office and connivance store just off the main road with the Woodman PH. Then as you travel up towards Upham you pass the Blessed of Mary Church and Upham Primary School. Further along is the popular Brushmakers Arms. Upham is only 2 miles from Marwell Activity Centre and Zoo with Horton Heath Golf Centre being approx 1 mile distance.
