Out of interest, I had a quick rightmove scan of rental places in Selborne. I am astonished at what an expensive place it appears to be to rent there. I'll admit they seem to be tidy inside, but £2K pcm for a 3 bed cottage? What am I missing with regards to living there?
It appears to be 4 miles from Alton station, which is over an hour into London, so why the outrageous price? My assumption is the current owners are in the "can't sell it for what it is worth () , so I'll rent it out" brigade.

Edit 2:
Ah, I was right . £800K, and it doesn't even come with the 4 acres.
Looks like it could be Heather Cottage. They still want a bit of "profit" it would seem.
