Situation

Keeps Cottage enjoys a rural setting with the historic Stratfield Saye Estate, home of the Dukes of Wellington, yet convenient for the nearby towns of Basingstoke and Reading. Within the village is a public house and an excellent farm shop. The nearby villages of Sherfield on Loddon, Bramley and Mortimer have further shops and local schools and the latter two also have stations. The two larger towns of Basingstoke and Reading have a comprehensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

Despite its rural position, the property is easily accessible to the A33 which provides links to the M4 and M3, and the mainline stations at Basingstoke and Reading provide fast and frequent services to Waterloo and Paddington respectively.

The Property

Believed to date from about 1809, Keeps Cottage is an attractive, modernised and extended country cottage which offers comfortable accommodation offered in excellent order that retains much of the original character of the cottage.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the reception hall with a double-glazed conservatory to one side. The sitting room has some exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace with exposed brick chimney breast, oak mantel beam and fitted log burning stove and wooden flooring. The kitchen/dining room is comprehensively fitted and has a central island unit with tiled floor to the kitchen area and wooden flooring to the dining area. There is also a utility room and a bathroom with both bath and shower.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two double and one single, all with cupboards, and a cloakroom.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.
