SITUATION

The property enjoys an excellent location in Ashe Park, a small hamlet on the edge of the village of Steventon, birthplace of the author Jane Austen. Steventon itself has a church and a village hall and in the neighbouring village of North Waltham there is a highly regarded primary school and a shop and pub. The nearby village of Overton provides facilities catering for all day-to-day requirements, with a doctors' surgery and station. Basingstoke offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities and a mainline railway station which provides fast and frequent service to London Waterloo. Junction 7 of the M3 is within a short drive.

THE PROPERTY

Formerly an estate cottage and separate cattle byre forming part of the adjoining Ashe Park estate, this intriguing property was created by the current owners in 2002. It is now a highly individual family home of considerable character offering spacious and flexible accommodation with the potential for an excellent self-contained ground floor annexe.

On the ground floor the front door opens to the dining hall. This has twin French doors opening to the garden, a brick fireplace with fitted log burner, exposed beams and the staircase rises to the first floor. To one side is the dual aspect sitting room with vaulted ceiling with exposed central beam, some exposed brickwork and a fireplace with fitted log burner and French doors to the garden, and there is a study beyond. To the other side of the dining hall is the kitchen with a comprehensive range of units. Beyond this is the area which could become a self-contained annexe. Currently is offers the breakfast room, with French doors to the garden, a family room/bedroom 4, the utility room and a shower room. There is also a cloakroom.
On the first floor, both the master bedroom and bedroom 2 have vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a mezzanine floor above with an en-suite dressing room and shower room off the master bedroom, and there is a further bedroom and the family bathroom.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.
