Pardown, Oakley, Basingstoke, RG23 7DY

A spacious five bedroom family home in Pardown, Oakley that occupies a breathtaking semi-rural position. This prestigious detached house represents an incredible example of ‘luxury’ family living, spanning a total internal layout of approximately 3,800 sq ft (including the main house, large carport, and detached outbuilding). This substantial home perfectly captures a sense of grand scale, premium craftsmanship, and idyllic English countryside lifestyle.

The property welcomes you via a central entrance porch opening into a large reception hall that acts as the anchor for the entire ground floor living accommodation. To one side sits a grand, double-aspect drawing room with a wood burner and French doors leading to the rear garden; ideal for formal entertaining. Alongside this a private, dedicated study overlooking the front aspect. The opposite side of the hallway houses a beautifully proportioned, bay-windowed sitting room with open fireplace.

The standout feature of this home is the sensational open-plan kitchen/family/dining room. Designed as the heart of the home, this elevated kitchen space features stone flooring, cream hand-made shaker-style cabinetry, an Aga, an oversized central island and open fireplace; perfect for family gatherings. A striking, multi-faceted bay window area serves as the living space, pouring natural light in and framing views of the garden and surrounding fields. Designed for modern living, this also accommodates a large seating area. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility/boot room and separate WC; and finalised with under-floor heating throughout. 

The staircase rises to an expansive first-floor landing and hallway leading to five substantial double bedrooms and a practical laundry/storage room. The principal suite is a palatial master bedroom complete with walk-in dressing room and a exceptionally large wet-room style en-suite featuring a freestanding bath. Bedroom 2 features a premium private en-suite bathroom. Bedroom 3, Bedroom 4 and Bedroom 5 offer generous spaces served by a beautifully appointed main family shower-room suite. 

The property is approached by an expansive, sweeping gravel driveway that provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles secured by a five-bar gate. Enhanced with a enclosed tended cottage-style front garden, this leads to an impressive integrated carport framed by traditional brick pillar work. 

The rear garden offers an uncompromised degree of privacy. A broad block-paved sun terrace wraps around the rear of the property. This provides an exceptional space for outdoor dining, lounging, and hosting. The terrace leads out to a level lawn bordered by traditional brick walling and open post-and-rail timber fencing that allows panoramic views over rolling fields. Tucked within the garden is an array of raised vegetable/flower beds and a premium detached timber storage outbuilding with sheltered outside seating area.
