4 bed detached house for sale

Preston Candover, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG25

A charming period home, ideally positioned in the heart of a sought-after village in the Candover Valley, just north of Alresford. This delightful home offers a wealth of versatile living space, making it perfect for entertaining, family life, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle in a beautiful village setting.

The property is accessed via a traditional five-bar gate, opening onto a gravelled driveway. The main entrance leads into a welcoming study with built-in storage. From here, you can access both the stunning oak-framed orangery—added in 2020—and the characterful sitting room, which features a beamed ceiling and a cosy wood-burning stove. The separate dining room also benefits from a wood-burning stove, terracotta flooring, and a staircase to the first floor. This charming flooring flows seamlessly into the adjacent breakfast room. The country-style kitchen is both stylish and functional, with quartz worktops and upstands, a Belfast sink, and French doors opening out to the garden.

Upstairs, two staircases—one from the sitting room and one from the dining room—lead to the first floor, where you'll find four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. Externally, the home continues to impress.

There is a detached garage with an electric roller shutter door, along with additional storage sheds. Steps lead up to the main garden, which is laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, with a raised decking area ideal for outdoor dining. French doors from the kitchen open onto a private courtyard area featuring a hot tub, raised beds, and further space for relaxation or entertaining.

The parish of Preston Candover lies on comparatively low ground, south of the high country round Farleigh Wallop and Nutley, and north-west of that which rises to Wield and beyond Wield to Medstead. The ground rises generally from west to east, the greatest height, 500 ft. Above the ordnance datum, being reached in the north-east near Moundsmere Farm. The village itself lies on the lowest ground towards the west of the parish on the road which comes northeast from Northington and the two other Candovers, and runs across the parish to enter Nutley at Axford and continues uphill to Farleigh and thence to Basingstoke. The Village itself benefits from having its own community store and post office, primary and junior schools and the village church. There is a great sense of community within the village with regular events taking place within the village hall and its neighbouring tennis courts and the parish church. Nearby Alresford is a beautiful Georgian Town sporting a plethora of fine colour-washed homes and an extensive range of shops which retail such items such as antiques and fine art, gifts and crafts, food and wine. The centre sees also a thriving café culture supported by a host of eateries, pubs, hotels and restaurants together with Tesco and Co-Op convenience stores. There are traditional butchers, fishmongers and greengrocers. Numerous banks, pharmacies, health and beauty, pet shop and dry cleaners make a day to day living hassle-free whilst more comprehensive facilities are available in the nearby Cathedral City of Winchester.
