4 bedroom Terraced House For Sale

Homes with this much character don't come along every day, and this property has been in the same ownership for over 35 years. This charming Edwardian terrace has plenty to appreciate, from its original fireplaces, picture rails and traditional doors to the high ceilings that give the rooms a lovely sense of space. Arranged over three floors, the property offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and utility room, along with an enclosed rear garden and the added bonus of off road parking for two cars a real advantage for a home so close to the town centre.

Stepping inside, the hallway leads through to the two reception rooms, each with its own character features. At the front, the living room has an attractive bay window that brings in plenty of natural light, while the original fireplace provides a lovely focal point. It's an inviting space to settle down at the end of the day, with the original features giving the room a sense of warmth and history.

The dining room sits towards the rear of the house and is a lovely place to bring everyone together for a meal or have friends over. An original cast iron fireplace adds to the character, and a door directly onto the garden, making it easy to step outside when the weather allows. Beyond the dining room, the kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, which provides useful extra space for laundry and everyday household tasks, with access out to the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor has three well proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from the high ceilings that are such a lovely feature of older homes. There is plenty of flexibility here, whether you need bedrooms for the family, a guest room or somewhere to work from home. The family bathroom is also on this floor and has a bath with a shower over.

There is more space to discover on the upper levels. A half landing leads to a sizeable attic storage room, complete with power, lighting and a window. On the second floor, a further room sits beneath the roofline, with a skylight bringing in natural light and views across the rooftops of Basingstoke. It offers an interesting additional space, with its eventual use depending on a buyer's needs and any relevant requirements.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a pleasant entertaining space without having too much maintenance to worry about. There is a patio for sitting out or dining in the warmer months, together with a gravelled area and a brick-built outbuilding for storage. A rear gate leads to parking for atleast two cars, the off road parking is a particularly useful feature in this town centre location. There is also an external room with plumbing and drainage, which could potentially be reinstated as an outside WC.

The property also offers exciting potential for a buyer looking to add value. Planning permission was previously granted to convert the house into a one-bedroom flat and a two-bedroom flat, although this consent has now expired. Buyers may wish to explore the possibility of renewing the planning permission and undertaking the conversion, subject to the necessary consents and approvals. With parking for two vehicles included, this could be an interesting opportunity for a small developer or someone looking to maximise the property's future potential. There is also the exciting opportunity to further extend this property by creating a ground floor extension off the original kitchen with a large redesigned kitchen/dining area complete with a convenient ground floor bathroom subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained making it a super spacious and generously appointed desirable family home."
