Situation

The property is situated within the conservation Area close to the heart of Hannington, a popular village enjoying a quiet elevated position between Newbury and Basingstoke, and close to Kingsclere. Within the village there is a church and public house, but Kingsclere provides a range of facilities for most day-to-day requirements. Basingstoke and Newbury both offer comprehensive ranges of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

Commuting is excellent with mainline stations to Waterloo from Basingstoke and nearby Overton and to Paddington from Newbury, and Basingstoke provides access to the M3 and Newbury and Reading provide access to the M4.

The Property

Plum Tree Cottage is an attractive detached period cottage backing onto farmland. Believed to date from 1709, the property has in the past believed to have been a grocer’s, a bakery and a carpenter’s workshop at various times. Now somewhat dilapidated it requires extensive modernisation but has great potential to become a charming home, and, if more space is needed, planning permission (23/00978/HSE) has been granted to remodel and extend.

Currently, the property extends to about 1322 sq.ft and offers, on the ground floor, a hallway, a sitting room, a dining room, a breakfast room and a small kitchen and, on the first floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Planning permission allows for some remodelling of the existing layout with a two storey extension of about 1923 sq.ft to then offer, on the ground floor, a reception hall with cloakroom off, a sitting room, a dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room and, on the first floor, a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study.

Outside

To one side, there is a gravel driveway providing off road parking. The garden lies to the rear and to one side. It is level and fully enclosed and backs onto farmland.
