House For Sale £895,000
The house has a fascinating history and was originally the 'Station House' for Lasham on the former branch line between Alton and Basingstoke. Dating from the early 1900s, the house has evolved over the years and now provides a very appealing and comfortable family home whilst still retaining all of the inherent character of the original building with well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings and large double glazed windows. The house has a wonderfully light and airy feel throughout and the welcoming and generous accommodation includes a spacious sitting room with a fireplace and a wood burning stove and a separate twin aspect dining room with a door out to the garden, also with a central fireplace and a wood burning stove. The accommodation is complemented by a twin aspect kitchen opening into a spacious breakfast/utility room with direct access to the rear garden and its delightful outlook. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets, drawers and a 6-ring combination electric and gas Aga range. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor. There is also a further bathroom to the ground floor. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a village home of genuine character and history with the potential to enlarge, subject to any necessary planning consents.
