Property description
Gascoigne Pees - An attractive character cottage that was originally thatched and is listed as being 18th century, but is likely to be earlier, perhaps dating from the late 17th century. Retaining many of its period features including eyebrow shaped roof line, exposed beams, original fireplace in the main bedroom and a large inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove in the living room there is a good balance between character and modern features . The property has recently benefitted from an extension by the current owners adding a large Optiplan kitchen with a good space for a dining and living area opening out to the rear garden with two sets of bi folding doors as well as access to the enclosed front garden.
There are two bedrooms upstairs with the option of a third on the ground floor, refitted three piece bathroom and a separate lounge with an open fireplace. The rear garden is well established and includes a fully insulated outbuilding complete with its own power source and is currently being used as a summer house/office. The rear garden also provides access to the off road parking accessed through a private rear drive.
West End is situated on the western edge of the attractive and popular village of Sherborne St John which has an excellent range of amenities including public house, church and access to beautiful countryside walks. There is well regarded schooling within the area including the village schools as well as The Priory School in Charter Alley. Basingstoke can be easily reached where there is a wide range of shopping and recreational facilities. The M3 motorway runs just south of Basingstoke and there is a mainline rail station in the town with commuter service to London (Waterloo approximately 45 minutes).
