Situation

Richmond Road is conveniently located in South View, a mature and select residential Conservation Area just to the north of Basingstoke town centre and within a leisurely walk of the mainline station.

Basingstoke has a comprehensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities and is well located for ease of communication to London, either by car on the M3, or by rail with fast and frequent services to Waterloo.

The property

Built in 1903 for the proprietor of the local newspaper, Griffon House has been sympathetically extended, maintained and improved by the current owners over the last 40 years. It offers spacious accommodation extending to about 3620 sq.ft. Which retains much of its original character and has the potential to create a ground-floor annexe.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the grand reception hall with the staircase rising and turning to the first-floor landing. To one side is the elegant ‘double’ drawing room and to the other is the morning room, both with attractive fireplaces. The orangery has three sets of French doors opening to the garden and serves as the dining room as it adjoins the kitchen which is comprehensively fitted. Beyond the kitchen, the family room has bi-fold doors opening to the garden and with an adjoining bathroom, this offers annexe potential. There is also a conservatory and a utility room.

On the first floor, there are four ensuite double bedrooms and a laundry room and on the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a shower room.

For further information, please refer to the floorplan.

Outside

To the front there is a gated gravel driveway providing ample parking, screened from the road by mature trees.

The rear garden is a delight. The doors from the house open to a large, paved terrace with fish-pond and various plants and shrubs, beyond which is the lawn with a number of mature trees providing privacy. There is a summer house, a gym/greenhouse/pool room and a useful store.
