Hi, you don't need a car. We took the bus to the nearby roundabout and then did the 15 to 20 minute walk. I would highly recommend both the house and Jane Austen House Museum which you will pass on the way too, they are both excellent. From the Chawton House website: By bus: The number 64 Stagecoach service runs daily between Alton train station and Winchester, stopping at the A31/32 junction roundabout near Chawton. The number 38 service from Petersfield to Alton offers a less frequent alternative option, stopping in Chawton. For further details on bus times, please visit the Stagecoach website. On the 1st Sunday of each month between May and October inclusively the Medstead Depot Omnibus Group run a free bus service between Alton station and Chawton, stopping outside Jane Austen’s House Museum. These vintage buses are part of the Working Omnibus Museum Project charity. The service is funded by the owners of the buses and is open to anyone wishing to travel without any need for a rail ticket or any other form of payment. To see the schedule, click here.
