The property enjoys a quiet position within the Conservation Area close to the centre of the village, near the historic ruins of Old Basing House, largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. Old Basing is a popular village with facilities including three pubs, good schools, shops an award-winning bakery and a church. It is situated on the eastern fringes Basingstoke which offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities, and good commuting with a mainline railway station (within cycling distance) and access to junction 6 of the M3 within about 2 miles of the property.

THE PROPERTY

Victory Cottage is an outstanding house. Built using a traditional green oak frame, the property has offers flexible five bedroomed accommodation extending to about 2,400 sq. ft. It is a fabulous mix of ‘traditional character’ with a wealth of exposed beams and an open fireplace, with all the conveniences expected of a modern house, such as underfloor heating. In addition, there are vaulted ceilings, large glazed windows and bi-fold doors making this a light and airy home.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the hall from which the stairs rises to the galleried first floor, to one side of which is the fifth bedroom with en suite shower. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the house and is comprehensively and luxuriously appointed, and it opens to the adjoining dining room with its bi-fold doors and glazed wall overlooking the rear garden. The adjoining sitting room has bi-fold doors opening to the garden, and a large brick fireplace with fitted log burning stove. Beyond the kitchen is the cinema/family room and there is also a utility room.

On the first floor, the vaulted galleried landing provides a lovely office area, to one side of which are two bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms and one with a balcony, and to the other side are two further bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, and the family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

To the front, there is a gravelled driveway providing parking in front of the double open bay garage. To the rear, the garden is level and fully enclosed and neatly laid out with a large, paved terrace running across the full width with the remainder largely laid to artificial lawn for ease of maintenance.
