Warbrook sits on The Street—a name so straightforward it’s almost rebellious. Eversley itself is a sleepy little village with a church, a pub, and a pond where ducks harass tourists. But here’s a surprising fact: this village was home to Charles Kingsley, the guy who wrote The Water-Babies. Yes, that weird Victorian book about chimney sweeps turning into aquatic creatures. He was the local vicar, and he definitely borrowed sugar from Warbrook House’s kitchen. Imagine him and the Colonel arguing about drainpipe placement while a ghostly nun judged their grammar.

Oh, and during World War II, the house was used as a secret training base for spies. SOE agents—the real-life James Bonds—learned sabotage and lock-picking here. The house literally has a hidden room for “special equipment.” I bet the neighbors just thought it was loud gardening.
The Garden: Where Hedges Go to Die (and Rise Again)
The grounds are a semi-wild paradise of yew hedges and ancient oaks. One tree, a giant tulip tree, was planted in the 1700s and still stands—probably to give the ghost a view. There’s also a walled garden that looks like a scene from a murder mystery where the victim is found dead among the roses. But honestly, it’s more likely you’ll trip over a badger than a corpse. The current owners (a private family) once held a charity fête there, and I’ve heard rumors they serve scones that are so good, people fake fainting to get seconds.
Oh, and the pond? It’s home to a colony of giant goldfish that have been there since the 1920s. They’re the size of small cats and will swim up to you like they want to file a complaint about the gardener.
