CONTEMPORARY dcor has added to the character in one of Basingstoke's older-style semi-detached homes.

The house, in Winchester Road, is selling through haart estate agents with a price tag of £249,950 for three-bedroomed accommodation and a modern, shared bathroom.

Like the master bedroom, the lounge-diner has a new double-glazed sash window to the bay.

The kitchen has been refitted with wood-fronted units, with granite worktops, and an integrated five-ring hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The breakfast area has French doors to a garden that has a shaped brick block patio edged with shrubs and flowerbeds.

At the end of the garden there is a timber-built garage and workshop.
