Situation

Hackwood Park was once the home of Lord and Lady Camrose (visited by Churchill and other luminaries of the time) and is now a beautiful Grade II* listed mansion and Grade I listed park which has now been fully restored and in private ownership. It is situated just to the south of Basingstoke, within easy access of the extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities on offer within the town.

Despite its rural setting, commuting is excellent with the mainline station in Basingstoke providing fast and frequent services to London Waterloo, and junction 6 of the M3 is within about 2 miles. Reading, Winchester and Heathrow are all also within easy range.

The Property

Formerly an estate cottage, 2 Home Farm Cottages lies just within the estate’s perimeter brick and flint wall and enjoys southerly views to the rear from all the principal rooms. Dating from the 1950’s the property has been extended to now offer spacious accommodation extending to about 1514 sq.ft, and has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners over the last 9 years.

On the ground floor the front door opens to entrance porch and then to the reception hall from which the staircase rises to the first-floor landing. The dual aspect sitting room has an attractive stone fireplace with log burning stove and the dining room has French doors opening to the conservatory which in turns opens to the garden. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house. It is comprehensively fitted and has a door opening to the side overlooking the paddock and stableyard.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and an adjoining refitted shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and the refitted family shower room.

For further details, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

The property is set back from the lane behind the wall and is approached over a gravelled driveway leading to the gravel yard which provides ample parking, with gated access to the paddock and stables.

Overall, the plot extends to nearly 1 acre. It is fully enclosed and level and enjoys a lovely southerly aspect and backs on to paddocks with woodland to one side. Immediately to the rear of the house, the garden itself is laid to lawn. To one side, the paddock is fully enclosed (and dog-proof) and has gated entry from the drive which leads to the two stables. For the equestrian, there is excellent hacking within the vicinity and access to a riding arena for rent nearby, and Wellington Riding is close by offering equestrian events all year round.
