The Street Crookham Village, Fleet, GU51

Constructed approximately three hundred years ago and situated in the popular Crookham Village is this Grade II Listed, three bedroom, semi-detached property.

Throughout the ground floor are the original, low level, wooden beams accentuating the character of this property. Immediately through the front door is the cosy living room with open fireplace. To the right of the living room is the dining room with its own wood burning stove built-in to the fireplace. Through to the rear of the property is the kitchen, with views on to the garden, and off the kitchen are the utility room and study.

Upstairs are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property sits on a generous sized plot with a stunning 130ft garden which backs on to open fields. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn and lined with a selection of trees and shrubs down each side. The driveway leads down the left-hand side of the property and has space for several vehicles. There is also a double garage.

Crookham Village is seeped in history. The Basingstoke Canal passes through Crookham Village, and a wharf once existed at the historic former Chequers public house, now rebuilt and renamed The Exchequer. Here, timber was loaded and coal unloaded. A picnic area is now at the site, and the towpath provided is used by walkers. Another of the village pubs, the Fox and Hounds, was host to the Fleet Folk club from the 1960s until 2001 when redevelopment work at the pub removed the venue. The club was run independently of the pub management in a separate function room and gained a reputation for featuring high quality musicians in the tiny room, often early appearances by artists later to become famous. The Black Horse was the village’s third pub but it’s been converted in to the Spice Merchant Thai Food Restaurant.

Fleet has excellent commuter links by both rail and road. There are regular trains to London Waterloo taking around 43 minutes and the town is located off Junction 4a of the M3 motorway which links to the M25. Fleet town centre offers comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities, schools for all age groups, churches of various denominations
