Situation

Bartons Lane is a quiet lane on the edge of the village running along the western boundary of Mill Field, a lovely 29-acre nature reserve on the banks of the river Loddon, which the property overlooks. Old Basing is an historic and popular village with the ruins of Old Basing House, which was largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War, and with excellent facilities including three pubs, good schools, an award-winning bakery, shops and a church. Old Basing is situated on the eastern fringes of Basingstoke which offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities. There is a mainline railway station within cycling distance and junction 6 of the M3 is within about 2 miles of the property offering good commuting
opportunities.

The property

5 Bartons Lane is an attractive Edwardian semi-detached cottage built in 1910 by and for the nearby Daneshill Brickworks. It has been sympathetically extended and modernised and now offers well balanced family accommodation of about 2,000 sq.ft, in excellent order. It has a private rear garden with a large outbuilding of timber construction of about 526 sq.ft., currently used as a sound-proofed music room and studio.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the entrance hall from which the staircase rises to the first floor, on either side of which is the family room and dining room, both overlooking the front. The sitting room also overlook the front and has an attractive fireplace with log-burning stove. The extended and partly vaulted kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house. This is comprehensively and fully fitted and has bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace and a log-burning stove. There is also a study, a utility room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a particularly large main bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom.

For details, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

To the front, there is ample parking on the drive which leads to the detached brick-built single garage with adjoining workshop. There is a small front garden providing screening from the lane.

To the rear the garden is level, fully enclosed and laid primarily to lawn. There is a paved terrace adjoining the kitchen and a gravel area adjoining the study and a further gravelled area with raised beds. The outbuilding offers great potential for a number of uses.
