Situation

Pardown is a quiet no-through lane, one of the premier residential areas on the edge of Oakley, a popular village on the Western edge of Basingstoke. The village provides facilities catering for all day- to- day requirements, including a popular village school, shop and supermarket, public house, tennis courts, church and dentist and doctors’ surgeries.

Nearby Basingstoke provides a far more extensive range of leisure, recreational and education facilities. Commuting is excellent with access to the mainline railway station at Basingstoke providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo and the M3 can be accessed at Junction 6 & 7.

The property

The Money Pit, as the name implies, was built by the current owners some 25 years ago with little regard to the cost and it is a most impressive and individual detached village home. The spacious accommodation extends to about 3,400 sq.ft and is in excellent order throughout.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious reception hall, a drawing room with log burner and French doors opening to the rear terrace, a sitting room with an attractive fireplace and a study, but the heart of the house is the impressive ‘lifestyle’ family kitchen. This is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of hand-made units with marble worksurfaces and dining table and has a two oven Aga. It overlooks the garden with French doors to the terrace and a door to the carport and it too has an attractive open fireplace. There is also a utility room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has an ensuite dressing room (with potential for a nursery of 6th bedroom) and an en-suite bathroom and the guest bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside

To the front the property is set back and screened from the lane behind a laurel hedge behind which is the sheltered front garden. The gravel driveway provides ample parking and there is a useful double carport.

To the rear, the garden is level, private and fully enclosed with a high brick wall to one side and post and rail fencing to the rear giving a lovely open aspect over paddocks. Mainly laid to lawn, there is a large, paved terrace and vegetable and flower beds. The tool shed offers potential as a lovely garden office with a part covered terrace to one side.
