A village defined by its big house
The Grange, now in the guardianship of English Heritage, dominates the immediate area, and the village itself sits close by across the Candover stream from its neighbour, Swarraton.
Planning authority
Northington is one of the smaller parishes inside the City of Winchester district, where Winchester City Council decides planning and permitted development questions.

Rural plots
With farmland surrounding much of the village, plots here tend to be larger and more rural than those closer to New Alresford's town centre, which is worth mentioning to an installer when discussing access for delivery.
