4 bedroom semi-detached house

This good looking four bedroom family home dates from the Edwardian era and has been nicely presented by the sellers. It displays many features typical of this period with high ceilings, sash windows and picture rails.

Set in the popular ‘Fairfields’ area just to the south of the town centre, it is handy for Basingstoke’s mainline railway station (45 minutes into London Waterloo) and the Festival Place shopping and leisure centre, which are about ½ mile away.

The front garden has a low brick wall with railings and a traditional tiled footpath leading up to a recessed porch with a part glazed front door into the hallway.

Off to the right is the living room, which has a bay window and an attractive period style gas fire and surround. Next along the hallway is the dining room and this has a log burner and French doors that open into a glazed ‘lean to’ used as a utility room.

The breakfast room is a good size and could function as a study or playroom. It adjoins the delightful kitchen, which has French doors and velux windows making this a light and welcoming room. It is fitted with shaker style units complemented by wooden worksurfaces and has space for a breakfast table in the middle.

There is a downstairs loo under the stairs.

Heading up to the first floor there are four bedrooms in all, three of these being ‘doubles’. The bathroom is large and has a white suite, with a bath as well as a corner shower cubicle.

Moving outside, the rear garden extends to around sixty feet and has a fair degree of privacy with two paved terraces, one next to the house and the other at the end of the garden with a lawn in between.

There is a driveway down the side of the house, shared with next door and this leads to a parking area for one vehicle – possibly two small cars, with potential to extend the drive by taking up some of the garden.

The owners have also obtained planning consent to ‘knock through’ the kitchen into the breakfast room and utility space to provide an open plan kitchen/dining/living space with ‘bi-fold’ doors into the garden.
