4 bed property for sale

Post Office Lane, Dummer, Basingstoke RG25

A delightful, 4-bedroom semi-detached family home with a large garden set in a tucked away
position in the heart of the village.

2 Olivers Cottage

Rarely available, homes in this charming row of cottages seldom change hands — the last sale was in 2001 — underscoring the timeless appeal and strong sense of community in this tucked-away village location.

2 Olivers Cottage is a generous, semi-detached family home set in a wonderful position, tucked away in the middle of this popular village. The property has been a much-loved home for nearly 20 years and has been sympathetically extended and modernised to provide both spacious and versatile accommodation, which is beautifully presented throughout.

Entering through the front door into the welcoming entrance hall, you’ll find the cosy sitting room immediately to the right, featuring a fireplace with wood-burning stove and wooden floors. There is also a study at the front of the house, again with wooden floors.

At the back of the house is the superb kitchen and dining room, the heart of the home. This excellent, bright room features a good range of units, butler’s sink, walk-in pantry, ample space for a large dining table and French doors opening onto the terrace and garden. There is a useful utility room and downstairs WC.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom is a good-sized double room with en suite shower room and a built-in cupboard. Bedroom 2 is another good double bedroom at the back of the house, overlooking the garden. Bedrooms 3 and 4, both at the front of the house, are again double bedrooms and both have a good range of built-in cupboards. A spacious family bathroom includes a large bath and shower.

Outside

There is ample parking along the front of the house, on the driveway, with side access alongside the house to the back. The garden is a very attractive feature of the property. Set to the rear of the house, it is both a good size and very private. Mainly laid to lawn with borders well stocked with a variety of mature plants, this provides an ideal outdoor space for a family.

The terrace extends along the back of the house — part of which is a sunny spot perfect for morning coffee — round to a dining area under a wooden pergola covered in grapevine, providing dappled shade and an ideal space for entertaining.

At the top of the garden there is a polytunnel used for growing fruit and vegetables, and a large garden store which extends to around 240 square feet. This could be replaced with a garden room or studio, subject to planning permission. A gate at the top of the garden opens onto the recreation ground at the rear.

Situation

The cottage is located within the popular village of Dummer, surrounded by open countryside. The village has a good range of amenities including a public house, church, village hall and a golf club. The recreation ground is immediately behind the house and can be accessed from the garden. Nearby, Basingstoke has an excellent range of shops, leisure facilities, restaurants and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property also offers superb connectivity, with easy access to the M3 and A303.
