5 bedroom house

Riseley Mill Cottages is a delightful period family home in an amazing setting, being quiet and peaceful yet within easy access of both Basingstoke and Reading. Originally a pair of mill workers cottages, it has subsequently been converted and enlarged to create a wonderful home, with flexible living accommodation. There are many period features, including high ceilings, timber beams, original fireplaces and a copper washer. The heart of the house is the large kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining dining room. It has a magnificent drawing room with semi-circular floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens. Completing the ground floor is a sitting room, study, utility and cloakroom. On the first floor, the principal bedroom mirrors the drawing room below, with semi-circular windows and an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. In addition, accessed from a separate staircase on the ground floor, is a games room/bedroom 6.

The annexe comprises a kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom on the ground floor, with sitting room and bedroom above. Adjoining is a double garage. The annexe and garage both have air conditioning.

The attractive gardens have a southerly aspect, comprising decking adjoining the rear elevation with lighting, formal lawns, a vegetable garden and a number of mature trees and hedgerow. There is a wooden summerhouse with wood burner, ideal for summer parties and al fresco dining.
