Description
From the moment you step inside, this property impresses with well-proportioned spaces that feel instantly welcoming. The entrance hallway flows through to a bright and airy south-facing living and dining area. Adjacent to this space is a contemporary well appointed kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, creating a sociable hub at the heart of the home. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three good sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite. The additional bedrooms are ideal for children, guests, or working from home, while the modern family bathroom is both stylish and functional. Step outside and discover a real gem—a southerly facing garden that stretches over 50 feet in length, offering one of the larger plots for the area. For those who love the outdoors, the location is ideal—just a few minutes’ walk to the surrounding countryside and nearby woodlands to the south, or the popular Beggarwood Park perfect for family walks, and dog runs.
There’s also plenty of scope to make this home your own. Many similar homes in the area have extended to the rear with garden rooms or added a bedroom in the loft (subject to planning permission), so the opportunity to expand is very much on the table. Practical touches have been thoughtfully considered, with a downstairs WC, a garage to the side, and driveway parking for one to two vehicles, plus ample on-street parking with dropped curbs, offering convenience for families and visiting guests alike.
Modern comforts are well covered too. A new boiler was installed in 2023 and still holds over eight years of warranty, offering excellent energy efficiency and peace of mind. The property also benefits from superfast fibre broadband, making it ideal for remote working, online learning, or simply keeping up with modern digital demands.
Families will appreciate the excellent school catchments, with St. Mark’s Primary, Hatch Warren Infant and Junior Schools, and Brighton Hill Secondary School all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and within easy reach. The local community offers everything you need within walking distance, including a doctor’s surgery, dentist, pharmacy, convenience store, day nursery, the Holly Blue pub and restaurant, and a friendly local café. For commuters, the location is just as convenient, with easy access to the M3, regular bus services into Basingstoke town centre, and fast trains from Basingstoke Station reaching London Waterloo in under an hour.
This is more than just a house—it’s a loved and cared-for home in a welcoming community, ready for its next chapter. Whether you’re searching for your forever family home, relocating, or simply ready to upsize, this property offers style, space, and superb value in one of Basingstoke’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Get in touch today to arrange a viewing—we can’t wait to show you around!

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
