Situation

Deane is a small Hampshire village, located in an enviable rural position at the start of the river Test close to the west of Basingstoke, and close to the villages of North Waltham and Overton. Within the village is a church and a country restaurant and at North Waltham there is a highly regarded primary school along with a shop and a pub. Overton is only 2 miles away and provides more extensive facilities catering for most day-to-day requirements, with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, a school, doctors' surgery and railway station to London (Waterloo about 55 minutes). Basingstoke offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

Despite its rural position, the property is very accessible with mainline railway stations in both Overton and Basingstoke providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo, and Junction 7 of the M3 is within a short drive.

The property

Deane Gate Cottage is an attractive detached thatched period cottage situated within the Deane Conservation Area on the edge of the village fronting the lane to Steventon with a large private garden backing onto open farmland. The cottage is delightful and although a notable property is surprisingly unlisted.

The front door opens to a small entrance hall with cloakroom off which leads to the triple aspect refitted kitchen/dining room which has a comprehensive range of units with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances and with ample room for a dining table. The adjoining sitting room has a central ceiling beam and an attractive stone surround fireplace with log burning stove, and in one corner, the staircase rises to the first floor.

On the first floor there is a landing, three bedrooms and the re-fitted bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The approach is over a gated gravel driveway to one side of the cottage, which provides parking in front of the detached oak framed timber clad double garage which has an integral wood store/workshop, and eaves storage. There is concrete hard standing to one side.

The gardens lie the rear of the cottage and provide a charming setting, fully enclosed by a combination of hedging and fencing and backing onto open farmland. Largely level and laid primarily to lawn a Gabriel Ash cedar greenhouse and small vegetable patch provide additional interest. There are various flower and shrub beds and borders, and a significant raised terrace provides an evening sun trap with views across the fields. Tool shed.
