Situation

Cliddesden is located 3 miles south of Basingstoke and is ideally positioned for excellent access to the M3 motorway and also direct rail links from Basingstoke into London Waterloo. Its location on the B3046 offers ideal cycling access (Cliddesden is on the National Cycle Network - ncn) to some of the most scenic countryside and villages in Hampshire as it meanders its way through the stunning Candover Valley towards Arlesford, Cheriton and beyond.

Within the village is a pub, a church, a village hall, a Primary School and Otters Nursery School, all within walking distance.

The property

This uniquely impressive and comfortable architecturally-designed family home is a genuinely rare opportunity to purchase a high-quality, well-appointed and spacious semi detached property. With its wonderful south-facing, manicured garden, this lovely home is testament to the current and previous owners attention to detail which is evident in almost every aspect of this property and which really must be seen to be fully appreciated.

On the ground floor, immediately upon entering the property through the marble and granite floored hallway, you will become instantly aware of the wonderful vista provided by the half-glazed oak doors and expansive glazed bay window beyond that offers a virtually unobstructed view to the wonderfully well-tended, south-facing garden.

Centrally accessed off the entrance hallway is the spacious and wonderfully light, open-plan sitting/dining room benefitting from the large amount of natural daylight provided by the expansive south-facing bay window and double patio doors. The traditional, but completely re-built cottage fireplace with oak mantlepiece, has a wood burning stove. Internal doors throughout are completely bespoke and constructed from solid oak.

Leading off the hallway is the spacious maple-finished kitchen with its many pan drawers and chromed pull-out storage units. Worktops are in solid black marble and appliances include a range cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer and wine chiller. The design of the feature kitchen ceiling and lighting make this not only a pleasurable place to work, but also to socialise. An Amtico finished floor, beautifully compliments this professionally-designed working kitchen.

Also leading off the hallway is Bedroom 3, a double bedroom with excellent wardrobe space and views to the landscaped internal courtyard. Directly across the hallway is a shower room accessed via a lobby/cloaks space.

Leading off the sitting/dining area is the main stairs and access to Bedroom 2 which is an exceptionally spacious double bedroom with en-suite shower room. This bedroom has lovely open views to the garden and patio area.

On the first floor, the ‘master suite’ area is accessed via an impressive, architecturally-designed oak staircase. The upper stair area is an amazingly light space with windows strategically positioned to capture light from all directions. Views over the village pond and central conservation area can be seen from the top landing dormer window. This area also incorporates a very useable study/work space.
The master bedroom is accessed directly from the top landing. This room is once again a very light space, primarily due to the additional daylight provided by the triple Velux roof windows that have also been fitted with solar-controlled blackout blinds. The room also benefits from having a south facing aspect and lovely views down the garden. The en-suite bathroom provides a generous walk-in shower, large bath plus additional high-quality sanitary-ware and fittings.
