Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Petersfield

Petersfield Worktop Information

Petersfield is a market town in the East Hampshire district, in the valley of the River Rother at the foot of the South Downs, about 17 miles north-east of Portsmouth and 18 miles south-east of Winchester. GU31 covers the main town and GU32 covers the surrounding rural area including the South Downs National Park villages of Steep, Sheet, Buriton, and the Meon valley parishes to the west. Petersfield has a Georgian market town character around the Market Square, where a statue of William III on horseback has stood since 1753. The town is notably positioned within the South Downs National Park on two sides, giving the outer GU31 and GU32 area a protected landscape setting that limits development. The town has a fast Portsmouth to London Waterloo rail service from Petersfield station in around 75 minutes, which sustains a strong London commuter demographic. Average house prices in GU31 and GU32 run above the Hampshire average, with the outer South Downs National Park villages commanding the highest premiums in the postcode area.
