Situation

Springfield Cottage is located on Dark Lane, a quiet lane in the Conservation Area in the heart of the village, backing onto a stream. The village itself has a highly regarded primary school, church, shop and public house all within a short stroll, whilst nearby Basingstoke offers a far more extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

There is access to the M3 via Junction 6, and the mainline railway station in Basingstoke provides fast and frequent services to London Waterloo.

The Property

Springfield Cottage is a notable double-fronted detached cottage which retains much of its period charm and character. An historic ground-floor extension created a family room (occasional bedroom) with an adjoining shower room and planning permission for a more recent two-storey extension has only just lapsed. It is likely that a further application might be considered favourably, and the position and size of plot would certainly lend itself to such an extension.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to a small hall from which the staircase rises to the first floor. There are three reception rooms all of which have attractive fireplaces. The triple aspect sitting room has French doors opening to the rear terrace and the family room also has a glazed door to the terrace. The kitchen has a range of units and overlooks the rear garden with another glazed door opening to the terrace and there is a shower room.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two double and two single, and the family bathroom.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

The gated driveway proves ample parking for a number of cars in front of the detached double whilst the front garden itself is a lovely well-stocked cottage garden.

The rear garden is an unexpected delight. Fully enclosed and offering total privacy it is on two levels, largely laid to lawn with four wide stone steps between. On the upper level there is a paved terrace adjoining the cottage and an area of decking in front of the garden office. There is also a garden gym and a number of stores, flower and shrub beds. The lower area is enclosed by mature hedging and is largely lawned with shrub borders.
