Set in a quiet hamlet between Basingstoke and Winchester, this four-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits on a secluded plot of around a quarter of an acre. Period character is retained through sash-style windows, a brick fireplace with a log burner and original cottage proportions, while generous reception rooms and a separate sitting room give clear family flow. The kitchen/breakfast room and walk-in larder, plus utility/cloakroom, make day-to-day living practical.
Outbuildings are a major selling point: a powered outside office and a large workshop suit home-working, hobbies or small-scale business use. Driveway parking for numerous vehicles plus a single garage add convenience for families and those with storage needs. Gardens to front and rear are well screened by mature trees and hedging, offering privacy and space for children or gardening.
Buyers should be aware the house dates from 1930–1949 and has solid brick walls with no built-in cavity insulation (assumed). Heating and hot water are provided by an oil-fired boiler and glazing is secondary rather than modern double glazing, so energy efficiency will be lower than a contemporary build. Drainage is to a shared septic tank. These are practical considerations for anyone planning long-term occupation or upgrades.
This property will suit buyers seeking a long-term family home in a prospering countryside community, especially those who value outbuildings and garden space. It offers scope to modernise heating, insulation and fittings to improve comfort and running costs, while retaining much of the original character and a quiet rural setting with good primary schools nearby and easy M3 access.
