Situation

The property is situated within the Conservation Area in the centre of Oakley, a popular village on the Western edge of Basingstoke. The village provides facilities catering for all day- to- day requirements, including a popular village school, shop, public house, tennis courts, church and dentist and doctors surgeries.

Nearby Basingstoke provides a far more extensive range of leisure, recreational and education facilities. Commuting is excellent with access to the mainline railway station at Basingstoke providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo and the M3 can be accessed at Junction 6 & 7.

The property

Pond Cottage is an attractive period cottage. It is a notable property being one of the buildings set around the village pond deemed to be of significant group value to the overall Conservation Area. It offers well-proportioned accommodation extending to about 1209 sq.ft. with most of the rooms enjoying a lovely southerly outlook over the garden and the pond, and is offered in excellent order having recently been sympathetically modernised by the current owner.

The front door opens to the spacious sitting room/dining room. At one end is the attractive fireplace which has a gas fired ‘log burner’ and at the other end the staircase rises and turns to the first- floor landing. There are two opening to the kitchen, and steps down to the study/snug. This has a deep box-bay window over-looking the garden. The kitchen has been fully refitted. It is dual aspect and has a stable door opening to the rear.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has a built-in cupboard and a refitted en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a newly fitted bathroom.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan


Outside

The garden lies to the front of the cottage overlooking the pond. It is enclosed by a low brick wall and has a gravel driveway which provides private parking for 2 cars, but which could be extended. The garden is level and laid primarily to lawn with flower and shrub borders. To one side of the cottage there is a covered terrace, useful for al fresco dining or storage, and from this a path leads round the back of the cottage to a pedestrian gate on Oakley Lane. There is a small brick store.
