Bullington, to the east has the A34 road, joining Southampton and the south-central coast from near the close of the M3 to Oxford and The Midlands.

Barton Stacey parish has the westernmost end of the A272 road, which runs from the A30, through nearby Winchester and on to Cross In Hand, East Sussex.

[5] Cocum lies to the south, it includes a farm and buildings, and incorporates a military small-arms firing range, situated to the north of the A30 road.

Its downland area is predominantly arable farmland, which has traditionally been used for growing malting barley, though other crops are grown, and sheep grazed.

At either end of Roberts Road there are two pieces of woodland, both belonging to the MOD, past or through which run various public rights of way.

[6] Some of its structures are listed or designated 'buildings of local interest'[7] The village itself lies in two parts: the original section comprises Kings Elms, Gravel Lane and The Street, situated around the church.

From 1987 the MOD has sold many of these houses into private hands, retaining some in West Road for military personnel.

Birds include the lapwing, skylark, red kite, kestrel, yellowhammer, corn bunting, house martin, swift, swallow and barn owl.

[8] The Andyke at Bransbury is an Iron Age ditch and bank, and a remnant of a promontory fort, with some evidence of roundhouses.

Evidence of Romano-British inhabitants was discovered between Barton Stacey and Bransbury in 1977, in the form of a ‘plank burial' of a woman.

The Drove, an unpaved road leading east from the village towards Sutton Scotney, may be of Saxon origin.

[11] The hundred court was held in Barton Stacey until the late 19th century when other governmental divisions assumed local jurisdiction.

The Barton Stacey Village Store was erected as a shop at about this time, and the original school buildings followed in Bullington Lane in 1886.

In 1943 the War Department (now MOD) purchased 2106 acres (852.5 hectares) to the north, east and south of the village for £24,000 for use as a military training area.

The tower is early 16th century, of ashlar, with a polygonal southwest turret, and battlemented parapet with pinnacles.

A Barton Stacey railway station operated briefly during World War II for military purposes.
