Andover Down is a hamlet in Hampshire, two miles east of Andover.
History
On the 1888 OS map there are a very small number of houses: Down House, Down House farm, Harewood, Harewood Farm, and two further dwellings.
It seems Andover Down underwent some expansion immediately after the Second World War, but remained a relatively isolated location until the rapid expansion of Andover (as a London overspill town) and in particular with the building of the Walworth Industrial Estate to the east.
With the large housing development at Picket Twenty, and especially the post-2018 second phase development, houses now surround the south of Andover Down, and it is arguably now a suburb of Andover.
In 2020 planning permission was sought to build additional housing to the north of Andover Down, on agricultural land[1]
