About this property

Beautifully presented period three bedroom cottage in a tranquil rural location

1 Folly Cottages is a charming period semi-detached home dating from the early 1800’s and set in a peaceful, rural setting, yet conveniently close to everyday facilities, transport links and schools. The interior retains a wealth of character features including a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a recent refurbished galleried kitchen and a spacious dining hall. The ground floor also benefits from a downstairs WC and a cellar space. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one with useful built in storage, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
The property was refurbished by the present owners in 2023 including kitchen, bathroom and WC upgrades plus new carpet and laminate flooring and double glazing. The present vendors had an ASHP installed in 2021 which qualifies for quarterly RHI payments until November 2028.
A planning application for a double storey extension on the roadside of the property was granted to the present owners in April 2021 (21/00482/HSE) but has now lapsed. Any future extensions to the property would be subject to planning permission.

Outside
The property is approached via a gated, gravel driveway providing ample parking. The property is lined by fencing or hedging on all sides making it secure for pets or small children. The mature rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and enhanced by established trees and shrubs, creating a wonderfully tranquil outdoor space. A summerhouse, with power and insulation, offers additional versatility and completes the garden.

Situation
Set in a charming rural location with wonderful sweeping views across the surrounding countryside, this property is ideally positioned for convenient access to Overton, Micheldever and Basingstoke stations. There is extensive walking, cycling and riding opportunities in the immediate locality. The vibrant community of Overton, a four-minute drive away, offers a range of everyday amenities, including local shops, pubs and restaurants, a wine merchant, post office, florist, butchers, bakers and both doctors’ and veterinary surgeries. For a wider selection of facilities, Basingstoke, Winchester and Newbury are within easy reach. Excellent transport links are close by, with straightforward access to the M3, A34 and A303.
