A village on the Dun, close to Mottisfont

Lockerley sits on the River Dun, a tributary of the Test, a short distance above where the two rivers meet near Mottisfont. Records going back to the Domesday survey show the village's parish chapel paying dues to Mottisfont's minster, a connection that runs through the area's history for centuries.

A quiet village with a wartime chapter

During the Second World War, a large US Army storehouse operated in Lockerley for around a year in the run-up to the D-Day landings, a reminder that even the quietest Hampshire villages played a part in the preparations. Little of that wartime infrastructure remains visible in the village today.

Test Valley Borough Council and rural gardens

Lockerley falls under Test Valley Borough Council, the same authority that covers Romsey itself. Properties here tend to sit on larger, more rural plots than an in-town garden, which usually gives more flexibility for siting a garden room, though it's still worth checking the usual boundary and height limits before finalising a design.
