A village built for an estate
Rather than growing up organically, East Stratton was laid out as an estate village serving Stratton Park, which gives its cottages a more uniform, planned appearance than the older villages nearby.
Planning authority
East Stratton now forms part of Micheldever civil parish, and Winchester City Council handles planning applications here, the same authority responsible for New Alresford itself.
Estate-owned land nearby
With much of the surrounding land still tied to the wider estate, garden plots in the village itself tend to be modest, so checking boundaries and any estate covenants is worth doing before ordering a garden room.
