Property description & features

EweMove - As the photographs suggest, this grade 2 listed detached cottage is every bit as charming as you would hope. It includes a wealth of period features dating back to the 17th century including ceiling beams, an open fireplace in the lounge, a re-fitted cottage style kitchen integral appliances, a four piece bathroom, 2 double bedrooms with partly vaulted ceilings, and a pretty screened garden. The house has been refreshed by the current owners, with many modifications that can be discussed on viewing. Finally there is planning permission to extend the house.
It sits in the centre of the original village of Old Basing in a conservation area at Peacock Corner and is neighboured by interesting varied properties in keeping with the surroundings. Despite being a brief walk away from the village green, St Marys primary school of high repute, doctors and dental surgeries, the Bolton Arms public house and St Marys church, Basingstoke town with its main line railway station ( Waterloo 40 mins ) and a choice of either junctions 5 or 6 of the M3 take you back to the everyday world.
An open entrance porch introduces the solid front door where you turn to your right into the dining room. Featured in this dual aspect room are an open fireplace, exposed ceiling beams, polished wooden flooring and a study recess with twin casement doors opening into the private rear garden. There is a further opening into the living room. This room has a lantern ceiling and a feature window looking onto the courtyard garden. Finally there is a door to the front vestibule, and front of the house beyond.
On the opposite side is a dual aspect cottage style re-fitted kitchen featuring amongst base and wall units a range of cream shaker style units including a butler sink, Corian work tops, an electric oven and induction hob, space for a fridge and freezer, an integral dishwasher and tiled flooring.
A door opens into the rear hallway with a built in cupboard housing a newly installed wall mounted gas fired boiler and plumbing for an automatic washing machine, tiled flooring and a fully glazed door opening into the rear garden.
Off the hallway is a four piece bathroom including a double shower.
Going back to the hallway, a staircase rises to the first floor landing off which is the dual aspect bedroom one. Bedroom two sits on the opposite side of the landing.
At the rear of the property is a shingle area before a garden laid to lawn with a range of numerous shrubs and bushes also ensuring very effective screening. To one side is a summerhouse with power and light which would lend itself for use as an office / studio.
This picture postcard property is very well presented and maintained.
Owners comments regarding the thatch - 'It was last thatched in 2006 in combed wheat reed which has a lifespan of around 35years and re-ridged more recently in 2016.'
AGENTS NOTE: There is no formal allocated parking or garage with the property. As is often the case with period village properties, parking can be found locally. We believe that subject to planning approval, off road parking could be made to the front of the property.
