This delightful one/two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage, dating back to the 1820s, is tucked away on the edge of the historic village of Old Basing. Set within a conservation area, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside, offering a rare blend of character, charm, and modern convenience in a wonderfully tranquil setting.
Inside, the home opens to a welcoming lounge with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Beyond lies a stylish kitchen/diner, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the generously proportioned primary bedroom is filled with natural light and offers ample space for storage. A second upstairs room provides flexible accommodation, equally suited as a study, dressing room, or hobby space—or could be converted into a comfortable second bedroom. Adjoining this is a bright, modern family bathroom.
To the rear, the private garden creates a peaceful retreat, ideal for al fresco dining or simply unwinding in the fresh air. Ample on-street parking adds to the property’s convenience, ensuring easy access for both residents and visitors. The home is also perfectly positioned for countryside walks, with Millfield Nature Reserve and the village recreation ground just a short stroll away.
Old Basing is a picturesque village just outside Basingstoke, renowned for its rich heritage and welcoming community spirit. At its heart lies the historic Basing House, once one of the largest private residences in England, whose atmospheric ruins remain a key attraction today.

Excellent transport links make the area highly accessible, with the M3 and A33 nearby, providing direct routes to London, Southampton, and Reading. Basingstoke town centre, just a short drive away, offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities, along with a mainline railway station providing regular services to London Waterloo.
