Tadley itself offers facilities catering for all day-to-day requirements and there is a swimming pool and golf course nearby, and the excellent Wellington Arms gastro-pub is within walking distance in Baughurst.

More extensive leisure, recreational and educational facilities are available in the two larger towns of Basingstoke and Newbury, and indeed Reading. Basingstoke also provides access to the M3 and the Waterloo line and Newbury and Reading provide access to the M4 and the Paddington Line to London. Heathrow and Southampton airport are within about one hour's drive.

The Property

Church View Cottage is an attractive detached period cottage, thought to date from the 17th Century. Formerly a farmhouse to the adjacent Church Brook Equestrian Centre and coming to the market for the first time, it offers scope to remodel and modernise and extends to about 1848 sq.ft with a number of exposed beams. It is set back from the lane with a gated driveway and has a level plot extending to about 0.5 acre and has no onward chain.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the reception hall, with shower room off. There are three separate reception rooms, all overlooking the rear garden. The first is a study or occasional fourth bedroom, the second is a sitting room with brick fireplace and the third is the dining/family room. This is the largest and is dual aspect with French doors opening to the rear garden and has the staircase rising to the first floor. A glazed door leads to the kitchen which has a two oven Aga and there is also a utility room.

On the first floor the master bedroom has a dressing room and en-suite shower there are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom.
