Hampshire and its many quaint villages are adorned with cosy chocolate-box cottages that anyone would love to live in.
Since the onset of the pandemic, many people are leaving large cities and moving to the country, searching for a simpler and quieter life.
Last year also saw the rise of an internet lifestyle aesthetic called 'Cottagecore', which went viral on Instagram and TikTok.
This trend is a modern countryside fantasy; think of idyllic communities like The Shire in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings or Thomas Hardy's pastoral masterpiece Far from the Madding Crowd.
