Character cottage in Overton with garage and garden, ideal for downsizers..
End-of-Victorian terrace cottage with period features
A charming two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace cottage in the sought-after village of Overton, offered freehold and ready for a new owner to personalise. The property combines period character — bay window, shutters, and a wood-burning stove — with practical modern updates such as double glazing and a fitted kitchen with gas cooker. A rare garage at the end of the garden is a notable local advantage for this type of home.
Accommodating around 874 sq ft, the layout is traditional with a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom on the ground floor, plus two double bedrooms upstairs. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The tiered, part-walled rear garden provides private outdoor space and gated side access, though the plot is small.
Buyers should note a few maintenance and finishing considerations: the exterior shows signs that may indicate damp and some areas would benefit from cosmetic modernization to suit contemporary tastes. Broadband and mobile signals are average; the area is very affluent with low crime and close to local amenities and good schools, making it well suited to downsizers or those seeking a village lifestyle within commuting distance of Basingstoke.
This property is best for buyers looking for a characterful home with practical benefits (garage, gas heating, double glazing) and who are willing to carry out light refurbishment to refresh external elements and personalise interiors.
