Upper Itchen Benefice
The Village of Bramdean
Bramdean is a rural village situated in delightful rolling countryside. The population of almost 500 comprises a healthy mix of retired and fully employed. Some have local roots going back a number of generations, others have settled here, attracted by employment opportunities, the ease of commuting to London and the pleasant local countryside. The mix of skills and incomes is wide as reflected in the diversity of accommodation.
There are quite a number of large houses, many old village houses, a small modern development and a small council estate (many now privately owned).There are a significant number of families, many with young children, who make a valuable contribution of new ideas and talents to the community.
There is no shop but a very helpful and well used garage and popular pub
