The four acres of grounds beyond, bordered by a restored steam railway, are home to an all-weather tennis court and swimming pavilion with changing rooms.

Today it is a bustling centre with a good range of leisure facilities, shops and supermarkets, including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer. Transport links are good, with a mainline station in the town. Opportunities to walk abound, with the beautiful beech woods of Selborne Common and the whole of the South Downs right on your doorstep and the estate itself offering fine views over the town and surrounding countryside. The area is also home to a number of interesting museums and galleries, in addition to the houses once lived in by authoress Jane Austen and the ornithologist Gilbert White.
