2 bed terraced house for sale

Winchester Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21

EweMove An immaculately presented and charming and deceptively spacious two-bedroom period home, ideally positioned within walking distance of Basingstoke town centre and the mainline train station. Previously benefiting from (now expired) planning permission to convert into two one-bedroom flats, this property offers excellent future potential for investors or developers, while remaining a superb first-time purchase in its current form. No chain!

The attractive red-brick frontage sits neatly within a traditional terrace and leads into a bright and welcoming ground floor. The living room is well-proportioned and flooded with natural light, featuring neutral décor, fitted carpet and an open feel that makes it easy to furnish. From here, the space flows naturally into a separate dining room, ideal for entertaining or everyday family use, with stairs rising to the first floor and a rear window overlooking the garden.

To the rear, the kitchen is generous in size and thoughtfully laid out, offering a wide range of wall and base units, dark worktops, tiled splashbacks and practical vinyl flooring. Dual-aspect windows provide excellent natural light, and a rear door gives direct access to the garden, making this a bright, functional space with scope for further enhancement if desired.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two well-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with plenty of space for wardrobes and additional furniture, while the second bedroom is a generous single that would also work well as a home office or guest room. Both rooms are finished in neutral tones with fitted carpets, creating a calm and move-in-ready feel.

The bathroom has been recently refitted and is finished to a modern standard, featuring stylish wall tiling, patterned flooring, a bath with electric shower over, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail and a frosted window for natural light and ventilation. There is also potential to enlarge the bathroom further by removing the airing cupboard and water tank should a combi boiler be installed.

Outside, the private rear garden is a real highlight. Fully enclosed and arranged over different levels, it offers a central lawn, defined borders and a raised decked seating area at the far end - ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing. New fencing and an elevated private & secluded decked area were installed last year, creating a smart, low-maintenance outdoor space. A secure metal storage shed with a built-in BBQ is also included, adding both storage and practicality.

Additional benefits include:

Fensa-approved double glazing (certified February 2022)

Gas boiler serviced annually with a valid Gas Safety Certificate

eicr electrical safety report valid until October 2025

Rear roof replacement already completed a significant recent investment

Brand new carpets, underlay, and door bars throughout

With previously approved (now expired) planning permission for conversion into two flats, this home also presents a compelling investment opportunity, subject to the usual consents.

Conveniently located, the property is just minutes from Festival Place shopping centre, Basingstoke train station (London Waterloo in approximately 45 minutes), and a wide range of leisure facilities including a cinema, ice rink and indoor skydiving. Excellent road links are also close by, with easy access to the M3 via junctions 6 and 7.

A characterful, well-presented home offering immediate comfort and long-term potential
