Set in the Hampshire countryside by the upper reaches of the River Hamble, Steeple Court offers a unique ambience.

The original Manor, of which the house was built, was given to to John de Botleigh by William the Conqueror. The house as it stands today dates from Elizabethan times, although it may be as old as 15th Century.

The lovely nearby village of Botley has unique associations with Wiiliam Cobbett, the author of Rural Rides. William Cobbett often visited Steeple Court to meet his good friend James Warner, who was Lord of the Manor. The House passed to Squire Jenkyns whose wife was an Austen-Leigh and was related to the author Jane Austen.
