One parish, two villages

Lower Wield and Upper Wield together make up the civil parish of Wield, one of the smallest this site covers, with the two settlements separated by open farmland rather than joined into one village.

Planning authority

Lower Wield falls within East Hampshire District Council's area rather than Winchester's, a different authority from most of the villages immediately around New Alresford.

A rural, low-density setting

With a small population spread across scattered farms and cottages, plots here tend to be generous and access is usually along narrow country lanes, both worth flagging to an installer in advance.
