Berehurst is situated about a third of a mile from the centre of Alton with its excellent shopping facilities. The development overlooks the Watercress steam railway line and there are some fine views over the town and the surrounding countryside. The two courtyards are landscaped with lawns, herbaceous borders and ornamental trees, with the grounds beyond left largely informally landscaped with trees and longer grass.

The cottages have private terraces and several have larger gardens which can be looked after by the gardener or by the owners themselves. All cottages and bungalows have conservatories, with some variations in architectural style. The apartments have a security entry phone system, carpeted lobby area and similar accommodation and fittings to the cottages.

There are twenty seven two and three-bedroom cottages and some apartments and bungalows all set in a little over four acres of grounds. There is an all-weather tennis court and a swimming pool, with changing rooms, which can be used throughout the year.
