Local Information:
Eastleigh is a thriving town in Hampshire, located between Southampton & Winchester. The town lies on the river Itchen, originally a village till early 19th century when it was developed to a railway town. Those railway town roots are still firmly imprinted with two mainline train stations providing trains to Winchester in 20 minutes and London Waterloo in an hour. Those looking for commuter links that are not rail are truly spoilt too with junctions to the M27 & M3 Either end of the town, and how could we forget Southampton Airport minutes away for some domestic and European trips. Eastleigh is a commuters dream! The town itself has an array of amenities including several supermarkets as well as several boutique and independent shops. Residential homes come in all shapes, sizes and age from 1800s thatched cottages to 1900 Victorian terraces to modern, well thought out developments there is a home in Eastleigh for everyone. Places leisure and Lakeside Country Park are favoured by locals for their greenery, open spaces and walks with the latter having a small passenger steam train paying further homage to the roots that the town was founded.
