Tucked away on Bennet Close, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers practical family living close to Basingstoke town centre. The extended reception room creates a clear lounge and dining zone with wide French doors that bring light into the rear garden. Two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a window sit on the first floor, while a porch and downstairs cloakroom add useful storage and convenience.
The galley kitchen is tidy and functional with Shaker-style units and space for appliances; it opens to the enclosed rear garden with paved terrace, lawn, raised deck and a timber shed. There is off-street parking via a garage, although the exterior and garage show signs of age and will need cosmetic attention or renovation to unlock the property’s potential.
Practical running costs are favourable — mains gas central heating, double glazing already installed, and a low council tax band — making this an affordable home for growing families or first-time buyers. Nearby infant, junior and secondary schools rated Good to Outstanding, plus close rail and bus links, support everyday family life and commuting.
Important drawbacks are clear: the surrounding area registers higher crime and local deprivation indicators, and the property’s mid-century exterior and some timber-frame walls appear dated and may require maintenance or insulation improvements. The plot is small and ceilings are lower at the front, so buyers should consider renovation costs when assessing value.
