George Street, Basingstoke, RG21

This three bedroom character house has plenty to recommend it, not least of which is the quality of presentation by the owners, who have clearly taken real pride in creating a stylish home, retaining many original features. It also benefits from having a drive for one car to the rear. Brookvale is a conservation area dating from the late Victorian era. It is convenient for both the town centre and Basingstoke’s mainline railway station with approximately 45 minute services into London Waterloo.
