Why Move to Hook?
The small town of Hook is relatively small, home to under 8,000 residents but it has some very attractive features and handy links into Basingstoke, Southampton, and Portsmouth via the M3.
Until the 18th century, only a few scattered farms could be found where Hook sits today.
Hook was located on the main London to Exeter stagecoach route and small hamlets did not begin to appear until several inns sprung up to serve passing travellers.
Bounded on the east side by the picturesque valley of the river Whitewater, and to the south by two areas of common land, Hook is awash with plenty of green areas.
Whilst travel to larger towns and cities for work is most definitely a viable option. Unusual for a location of its size, Hook also has some large businesses based within its own boundaries providing plenty of local employment.
Serco Group Plc is a FTSE top 250 company managing over 500 contracts worldwide. And Trimble Inc. is a Sunnyvale, California-based hardware, software, and services technology company.
Hook is a bustling little community that provides those who live here with adequate local facilities.
There is a large Tesco Superstore, the town has its own train station and more than enough restaurants and pubs to cater for everyone’s requirements.
Family-friendly Hook is set amid some wonderful natural beauty such as Wellington Country Park, Bassett’s Mead Country Park, and Elvetham Heath Nature Reserve.
The quality of life here is a hard one to beat. Whether you are looking for your first home, expanding your family or searching for a peaceful retirement, Hook could be the answer.
Hook Schools & Education
If you are moving with very young children under-fives can attend a choice of playgroups and nurseries in and around the village.
Hook Infant and Junior School are each “outstanding” says Ofsted.
The closest state secondary is Robert May’s School, awarded a “good” rating from Ofsted who stated that in 2022, “the leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection”.
Post sixteen students have a wide choice of colleges across the county. Queen Mary’s College and Basingstoke College of Technology (BCOT) in Basingstoke are the closest, but colleges in Farnborough and Alton are also popular.
Things to Do in Hook
Being small is by no means a hindrance when it comes to entertainment provision.
Hook has a host of annual and monthly community events which are very well attended. A popular event is the annual Hook Flower and Produce Show, held each September.
Most events are organised by three associations, Hook in Bloom, Hook Allotments Association and Hook Village Halls money raised by the event all goes towards local charities.
Other popular events include the annual Fireworks Display, Hook Beer Festival and the Hook Fun Run and Road Race. The community really comes together on these occasions making them perfect opportunities to meet new people.
You can keep an eye on what is happening and when in Hook by visiting the Parish Council website.
The area has access to several very nice golf courses.
One of the most prestigious is Tylney Park Golf Club. Located within 200 acres of beautiful Hampshire countryside. The course offers 5 tee positions to enable golfers of all standards to enjoy their day.
West Green House is an 18th-century country house and garden at West Green in Hartley Wintney, 2 miles from Hook. The house is listed Grade II. It is known for its gardens and for its summer season of opera.

Hook Property
As Hook is in such high demand, the local property market moves fast. It is not usual for the best homes to be sold via sealed bids.
Many homes are relatively new having been constructed in the last 20-30 years.
However, it is Hook’s period and character homes that draw attention. These are generally situated on the outskirts of the village rather than centrally.
Sought-after areas around the village include Rotherwick, Greywell, and Newnham. Properties in these areas, although stunning are very expensive.
There are bargains to be had with two- and three-bedroom homes dominating the market.
Whether you can splash the cash or must be a little more restrained with your money, Hook has a home for everyone.
