EweMove - An Exceptional Character Home in One of Basingstoke's Most Desirable Roads.

Occupying the upper two floors of an elegant period residence on one of Basingstoke's most sought-after roads, this exceptional duplex home is unlike anything else currently available on the market. Offering over 1,650 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, its own private entrance, private garden and driveway, it perfectly combines the grandeur and character of a substantial period home with the convenience of a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Originally constructed between 1915 and 1920 as one magnificent family home before being sympathetically divided into two separate homes, the property retains an abundance of original charm, including impressive ceiling heights, large windows, beautiful fireplaces and generous room proportions throughout. With accommodation arranged over two spacious floors, this is a home that feels every bit like a house.

Approached via its own private entrance, a welcoming hallway leads into an outstanding dual-aspect sitting room. Flooded with natural light from its large windows, this elegant reception room enjoys one of the property's beautiful working fireplaces, bespoke fitted cabinetry and generous proportions, creating a wonderful space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The separate dining room continues the period charm with another feature fireplace and fitted shelving, providing the perfect setting for family meals or hosting guests. Beyond, the beautifully appointed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry, generous worktop space and room for a range cooker, making it equally practical for everyday family life and keen home cooks alike.

The principal bedroom is simply exceptional. Wonderfully spacious with attractive bay windows overlooking mature trees, it enjoys a further working fireplace, fitted wardrobes and ample room for additional furniture, creating a luxurious retreat. Completing this floor is a generous family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure.

The upper floor continues to impress with its flexibility. A spacious central landing has been cleverly utilised as a home office, creating an ideal workspace away from the main living accommodation. Three further versatile rooms branch from this level, offering excellent flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Whether utilised as additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, children's rooms, creative studios, hobby spaces or further home offices, these rooms provide buyers with the opportunity to tailor the home to their own needs. A useful eaves storage crawl space provides valuable additional storage for those less frequently used items.

Storage is a recurring theme throughout the home, with an abundance of fitted cupboards and cleverly designed storage solutions ensuring there is a place for everything.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The private garden offers a peaceful retreat rarely found so close to the town centre, while the private driveway comfortably accommodates two vehicles. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with both a useful under-stair storage cupboard and a garden store complete with power and lighting, ideal as a workshop, bicycle store or secure storage for gardening equipment.

The property has its own leasehold title, and the comfort of the freehold being owned jointly with the owners of the ground floor apartment. A long-established written agreement between both owners ensures that shared structural maintenance is managed simply and fairly, with costs such as the roof, gutters and drains shared equally, whilst each property remains responsible for its own private areas including the garden, driveway and windows.

Location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Situated within the highly regarded Fairfields Conservation Area, Beaconsfield Road has long been recognised as one of Basingstoke's premier residential addresses. Despite its peaceful setting, everything is within easy walking distance. Basingstoke's mainline railway station offers direct services to London Waterloo in under an hour, making this an exceptional choice for commuters, whilst the town centre's extensive shopping, cafés, restaurants, theatres, cinema and bus station are all just moments away. The beautiful War Memorial Park is only a short stroll from the property, providing acres of open green space and hosting the ever-popular weekly Parkrun. Families will also appreciate having the highly regarded Fairfields Primary School located at the end of the road, placing excellent schooling virtually on the doorstep.

Beautifully maintained, rich in original character and offering an exceptional level of space, flexibility and storage, this remarkable home is unlike anything else currently available in Basingstoke. Combining period elegance with modern practicality in one of the town's most desirable locations, early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this truly special home has to offer.
