SITUATION

The property is located off Cranes Road in the centre of Sherborne St John, a popular village situated just to the North of Basingstoke. The village itself has a highly regarded Primary School, Church, village shop and Public House, whilst nearby Basingstoke offers a far more extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities.

The location is excellent for commuting being within easy access of the M3 via Junction 6, and the mainline railway station in Basingstoke provides fast and frequent services to London Waterloo.

THE PROPERTY

Spring Cottage is a delightful grade II listed family home dating from the 17th century offering great character and charm with many period features including exposed oak timbers and fireplaces with stunning private gardens of about 1 acre.

The front door opens to the reception hall with cloakroom off. The ground floor offers flexible and spacious accommodation with three reception rooms, all with log burning stoves. The modern dual aspect kitchen/breakfast/dining room is comprehensively fitted with units and work surfaces with a door leading to the rear patio and garden and a useful utility/boot room adjoining with a door leading to the garden and driveway.

There are two staircases that lead to the first floor where there is a master bedroom with en-suite shower, four further bedrooms and two further bathrooms.

For further details please refer to the floorplan.

OUTSIDE

To the front there is gated gravel driveway for a number of cars and access to the detached double garage with side gates leading to the rear gardens.

The private landscaped gardens are a delight and extend to approximately one acre. There is a spacious terrace adjoining the house for alfresco dining. The mature gardens, which feature expansive lawns with established trees and shrubs, a spring-fed pond, enclosed by picket fencing, with a decking area and a summer house provides a perfect spot for relaxation.

To the side of the house, a formal garden with box hedging and gravel pathways offers a picturesque view from the receptions rooms. The property also benefits from two sheds, a greenhouse, and a practical log store.
