Richmond Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG21 5PA

This two bedroom duplex maisonette is set within an iconic development of just fourteen homes known as Temple Towers, built in 1933 by the Musslewhite family of local builders. With Art Deco influences, it is a little oasis of elegant style complemented by attractive gardens for the private use of the residents.

Situated just a short stroll from Basingstoke’s mainline railway station (just 45 minutes to London Waterloo) and the Festival Place Shopping Centre, it is also a very handy and convenient location.

The property faces onto courtyard gardens with an ornamental pond as the focal point.

There is a decorative covered porch with the front door opening into a wide entrance hall. Once inside, the property has the feel of a two bedroomed house. It has character in abundance with high ceilings, exposed internal woodwork, oak and tiled flooring, picture rails and decorative coving.

The twin aspect living/dining room has a brick built open fireplace and a deep window framing a pleasant view of the courtyard gardens to the front. The kitchen has shaker style units with appliance space and plumbing for both dishwasher and washing machine.

Heading upstairs, there is a large double bedroom overlooking the gardens to the rear and a single bedroom at the front looking down on the pond and courtyard. The bathroom has a white suite with an electric shower and screen over the bath.

There is good storage provision within this home with cupboards in the hall, under the stairs, on the landing, in bedroom one and in the bathroom. Additionally, there is a communal basement for storage with each property also having its own lockable space.

The property comes with an on-site garage and this has a sliding door. The garage has a high vaulted ceiling and electric power and light. There is also a parking space in front of the garage. Parking permits for surrounding on-street parking can be purchased from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council.

The property is held on a 999 year lease from January 1985 and each property owner also owns a share of the freehold. The ground rent is £1 per annum and the service charge for the year ending 30th September 2026 is £1,388.80.
