"There are three things that make this fabulous home ideal for the growing family. Space, presentation and location. It has enough room to stay here for a long time, it has a contemporary finish making it easy to move into and finally, it is right in the heart of Old Basing, which has fabulous infant and junior schools. Oh, it also has a big garden and being close to Basing Common it is great for walking the dog.

The property has been substantially extended to the front creating modern, spacious accommodation. The original house looks like it was built in the 1970's and, with the large windows popular at that time; there is plenty of natural light bringing a bright and airy feel to the interior.

Facing onto Crown Lane, a block paved driveway to the front provides lots of parking complemented with a double width garage.

There are three main reception rooms, the largest being the living room that has an attractive fireplace and large patio doors framing a pleasant view of the rear garden. There are glazed and oak double doors leading into the study at the front, which could equally serve as a playroom for young children. The dining room is conveniently set between the living room and kitchen and has enough space for a decent size table, ideal for family dining. The kitchen has been well fitted with natural wood units and also has space for a breakfast table. Leading off the kitchen is a utility area that opens out into a hallway running from the front to the back of the house. With a tiled floor, this is perfect for bringing the dog in after a walk around the common. The cloakroom is much larger than normal and provides scope for extra storage.

The family appeal of this home is cemented by the size of the four bedrooms upstairs. They are all doubles and all have built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom is set to the front and also has a good range of fitted bedroom furniture. Like the second bedroom it has a deep 'Oriel Window' creating a light and spacious room.

The en-suite has been fitted in a fashionable style with a white suite and 'oversize' tiling enhancing the already spacious feel. It also has the advantage of a bath and separate shower cubicle. Bedrooms three and four enjoy pleasant views to the rear over trees and roof tops. The family bathroom also has modern feel and, handily, has a 'rain head' independent shower over the bath.

Externally, there are good size gardens to the front and rear. The front garden is enclosed and has a lawn that extends around to one side of the house where a gate leads into the back garden. This has block paved outside dining areas to both sides of the house with a well tended lawn and flower beds beyond.

The location of this home is great. It sits right in the middle of Old Basing village, which has an attractive core of historical buildings and a range of small shops, three pubs with restaurants and infant and junior schools (both rated as outstanding in their latest 'Ofsted' reports). The major town of Basingstoke lies around two miles to the west and this has a mainline rail service into London Waterloo of around 45 minutes. The M3 motorway is easily reached at junctions 5 or 6.
