Rake sits in that stretch of Hampshire border country where the villages are small enough that you notice a new car parked outside the pub, and the housing stock leans toward the kind of detached and semi-detached properties that don't often trouble the market. It's the sort of place people move to rather than pass through, tucked into the rolling ground between Liphook and Petersfield, with hedgerows doing the job that street lighting does elsewhere. There isn't enough here in the way of hard numbers to give you a confident read on schools, crime, or the commute — no rail or school data has come through for Rake itself, which is unusual even for a village this size, and it means I can't respo­nsibly tell you what the classroom Ofsted grades look like or how far the nearest station platform is. What I can tell you is the price context: the wider East Hampshire district carries a median house price around £400,000, comfortably above the national median of £281,000 and roughly in line with the South East regional figure of £367,500. That puts Rake in solidly comfortable Hampshire commuter-belt territory rather than anywhere bargain-hunting works, and it tracks with what you'd expect from a village of this character — this isn't a place where you stumble into an underpriced cottage. Given how thin the picture is beyond that, I'd rather be straight with you than pad it out: if you're weighing up Rake seriously, the sensible next step is to look at a specific postcode within it, which will surface the school, transport and crime detail that's missing here and let you judge the place on its actual character rather than its district's averages.
