CLIDDESDEN Road is one of Basingstoke's premier residential areas - and its large semi-detached Victorian homes give it plenty of character and kerb appeal.

One of those houses is now on the market for the first time in eight years with estate agents Charlton Grace, who have set the asking price at £485,000.

The accommodation in the period house stretches from the cellar to the converted roof space, where there are two bedrooms and a shower room.

Two of the four bedrooms on the first floor have cast-iron fireplaces and the family bathroom has a Victorian-style shower over the bath.

The entrance hall has a tiled floor, and wood-laminate flooring has been laid in the living room, dining room and family room, which has a door out to the conservatory.

The wood-fronted units in the kitchen-breakfast room have space for a range cooker and the integrated appliances are a dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

Ground-floor accommodation is completed by a cloakroom and utility room.

Sash windows are a feature of many of the rooms in the spacious family home, which has a large back garden, with a paved patio and steps down to the lawn.

The gravelled driveway gives off-road parking for several cars.

"A substantial, well-presented Victorian semi-detached family home," says Charlton Grace.
