This pretty historic cottage offers great character, with many period features remaining. The property is entered via an entrance hall with stable door and downstairs w/c, which leads on to the kitchen / breakfast room. This triple aspect room is well laid out, with a range of bespoke wooden units, granite worksurfaces, integrated appliances and space for a dining table. The adjoining sitting room is well proportioned and features a delightful inglenook fireplace with log burner. Stairs from the sitting room rise to the first floor landing, which in turn provides access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside
Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the property, with an expanse of lawn leading to an al fresco dining area at the rear, with views over farmland. Additional areas of interest include a vegetable garden, greenhouse and a brick built “folly” which could be turned into a walled garden. In addition to the driveway there is a detached timber framed double garage which provides excellent storage.

Location
Deane is a small Hampshire village, located in an enviable rural position at the start of the river Test close to the west of Basingstoke, and close to the villages of North Waltham and Overton. At North Waltham there is a highly regarded primary school along with a shop and a pub. Overton is only 2 miles away and provides more extensive facilities catering for most day-to-day requirements, with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, a school, doctors' surgery and railway station to London (Waterloo about 55 minutes). Basingstoke offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

Despite its rural position, the property is very accessible with mainline railway stations in both Overton and Basingstoke providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo, and Junction 7 of the M3 is within a short drive.
