4 bedroom house

A delightful period cottage, once the refectory for the Beaurepaire Estate, which has been extended and tastefully updated over the years to provide a wonderful blend of period features, with more modern day fitments and living space. Period features include an inglenook fireplace with wood burner in the sitting room and exposed timber framing in many rooms. At its heart is the wonderful lifestyle living/dining room/Amdega conservatory and adjoining kitchen, with Rangemaster dual-fuel cooker. The tiled floor with underfloor heating extends into the living space with wood burner and has wonderful views over the garden. Completing the ground floor is a study and shower room.

On the first floor, the vaulted master bedroom has a Juliette balcony, overlooking the garden. There are three further bedrooms (one accessed via a secondary staircase) and a bathroom.

Planning permission was passed in 2013 to provide an additional first floor bathroom (now lapsed). Basingstoke & Deane Planning Ref 13/00968/HSE.

Outside, the property is approached through a 5-bar gate with ample parking and turning. There is a double garage with office/secondary accommodation above, with cloakroom. The delightful gardens are incredibly private and secluded, within which is a stylish summerhouse with power, ideal for al fresco dining. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of flowering plants, shrubs and a kitchen garden. There is a large terrace area accessed off the conservatory and two garden stores.
