SITUATION

Beautifully positioned in a 1/4 acre plot overlooking open countryside, Welkin Lea is situated on the edge of the popular village of Cliddesden with easy access to Basingstoke, just two miles to the North. Within the village is a pub, a duck pond, church and a thriving village hall along with a highly regarded primary school. Audleys Wood country hotel is close by.

Nearby Basingstoke offers a comprehensive range of leisure, educational and recreational facilities, and commuting is excellent with easy access to the M3 at junction 6 and to Basingstoke station (Waterloo from 45 minutes).

THE PROPERTY

Originally a fairly modest bungalow, one of the ‘Homes for Heroes’ built between the wars. Welkin Lea has evolved into a particularly fine and spacious detached family home. Extending to about 2523 sq.ft., the accommodation is very flexible with a particularly spacious ground floor with the possibility of creating up to three ground floor bedrooms, or even a self-contained annexe, or creating space for two home offices away from the main accommodation.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the spacious reception hall from which the stairs rise to the first floor and galleried landing. Glass paned double doors lead to the dual aspect sitting room with a log-burning stove and a row of shuttered windows. The L-Shaped kitchen/dining/family room is a large, light and airy space which overlooks the south facing garden from which bi-fold doors open to the terrace. It has a utility room to one side. There is an inner hall which accesses the other three rooms, one of which has French doors opening to the rear garden, and a ground floor bathroom.

On the first floor the spacious landing has a sitting area with a big picture window with open views over farmland to the front. There are three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

For further details please refer to the floorplan.

OUTSIDE

To the front, the garden is enclosed by hedging and is laid to lawn with a number of trees, shrubs and flower beds and there is a large gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking.

To the rear, the garden is a delight. Level and fully enclosed by mature hedging, it enjoys a high degree of privacy with a southerly orientation. There is a large terrace adjacent to the house with lawns, well-stocked flower and shrub beds and borders, a number of trees, a small pond and some vegetable beds. There is a green house, a summer house and two garden sheds. In all, the plot extends to about 1/4 acre.
