Description

This period family home, dating back to 1890 with later extensions, is nestled in a serene rural setting that boasts expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Its unique character is highlighted by a range of period features that blend historical charm with the comforts of modern living. The property offers spacious and bright living areas, making it ideal for family life. There are four well-proportioned reception rooms, a dedicated study, and a conservatory that leads out to a large terrace—perfect for enjoying the picturesque landscape. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped to meet contemporary demands, while the ground floor also includes a utility room and a convenient shower room. Upstairs, the home comprises five bedrooms and two bathrooms. A versatile loft room with permanent staircase access adds potential for further development; it could serve as an additional bedroom or bathroom (subject to planning permission). Additionally, a sizable cellar provides ample storage options, enhancing functionality. Accessed via a quiet unmade lane, the property offers plenty of parking space at the front, along with a garage that holds conversion potential (also subject to planning permission). The gardens feature charming elements such as wisteria at the front and are designed as peaceful retreats that take advantage of the extensive views. The large terrace creates an inviting outdoor area for relaxation. Located in Mortimer West End—a small village on the Hampshire/Berkshire border—this home benefits from proximity to several renowned schools, including Wellesley Prep and Bradfield College. Local amenities can be found in Mortimer or Tadley, while Basingstoke offers more extensive services along with easy access to major motorways (M3 and M4) and reliable rail links to London Waterloo and Paddington. Investors will find significant potential in this property due to its size, location, and opportunity for further enhancement through renovation or expansion.
