ESTATE agents Sansome and George rate the setting of a modern detached home in north Hampshire as a star feature.

The agent's details say: "Location is everything - and this location has all the treasured elements of a rural gem. Never mind the house - just drink in the panoramic view from the sun lounge or garden."

The setting for Avington is Cufaude Lane, Bramley, from where it has far-ranging countryside views. But despite its rural feel, the house is only about a mile from rail links to Basingstoke and Reading.

Doors in the reception room - which has an open fireplace - the study and the kitchen all open out to the sun lounge, where the owners can relax and soak up the view.

Avington is a four-bedroomed home, with an en suite shower room to the master bedroom and a family bathroom. The house is selling at £379,950 through the agent's Bramley office.
