Situation The property is located within the Conservation Area on The Street, next to St Mary’s church, close to the centre of the village, near the historic ruins of Old Basing House, largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. Old Basing is a popular village with facilities including three pubs, good schools, shops and a church.

Old Basing is situated on the eastern fringes of Basingstoke which offers an extensive range of leisure, recreational and educational facilities, and good commuting with a mainline railway station (within cycling distance) and access to junction 6 of the M3 within about 2 miles of the property.

The Property Loyalty Cottage is charming Grade II Listed detached cottage believed to date from the mid 16th century, which offers deceptively spacious accommodation extending to about 2,024 sq.ft. enjoying an unexpectedly large garden to the rear. Over the last eight years the current owners have extended, remodelled and improved the property to create a home of great character and comfort.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the dual aspect sitting room with heavily beamed ceiling and brick fireplace, which leads to the dining room beyond which is the study, all fronting The Street, whilst to the rear, forming the heart of the house, is the excellent kitchen/breakfast room. Designed by Kit Stone (featured in the Ideal Home magazine) and improved with an excellent vaulted oak framed extension, this is a delightfully light room with French doors opening to the rear terrace, and there is a utility room off. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family room/occasional fourth bedroom which has an en suite shower room, and the cloakroom. There is also a cellar under the dining room.

On the first floor there is a large landing, three double bedrooms and a large luxury family bathroom.

Outside To the front, there is off road parking for up to three cars. To one side, gated access leads to the rear garden. This is an unexpected delight, in all extending to nearly 0.3 acre enjoying a very high degree of privacy. Adjoining the cottage is a split level paved terrace, whilst the majority of the garden is laid to lawn with neat well stocked flower and shrub beds and borders, the whole being enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging. A large recently built shed provides secure storage.
