About this property

A handsome three/four bedroom detached house with a one-bedroom annexe standing in a very convenient location for the town.

The current owners have carefully extended the house and updated the interior to create a wonderfully welcoming home. Importantly, the property has been designed and enhanced with energy efficiency and conservation firmly in mind including a sedum roof to absorb Co2 and also solar panels to generate electricity. The generous accommodation includes a spacious sitting room with a hardwood floor, a gas fired stove and a superb triple aspect kitchen/dining/sitting room. This is a magnificent room with glass lanterns and bi-folding doors opening out to the south-east facing rear garden together with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and
base level cabinets, pan drawers, quartz work surfaces, induction hob and double oven. There is a separate utility room and a study/ground floor bedroom set to the front of the house. There are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom with an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom to the first floor. Of note, one of the bedrooms could also be used as a study. The property is complemented by a one-bedroom annexe providing additional space and flexibility. The light and airy accommodation includes a sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, bedroom (with fitted wardrobes) and a bathroom.

Outside
The partly walled gardens and grounds are a very special feature of the house and have been landscaped to take full advantage of the fine setting. The house is set behind a low wall to the front with a beautifully established garden. The garden is principally to the rear of the house with areas of paved terrace, borders, pond, mature hedging and a variety of trees including a corkscrew hazel. Within the grounds, there is a detached double garage (with electric doors and a Tesla Powerwall battery to store solar produced electricity) and undercroft area (ideal for clothes drying) together with a one-bedroom annexe above (with independent
central heating). The annexe is approached via an external staircase and an adjoining area of decking providing an ideal outdoor seating area. The formal areas of garden and the garage and annexe are subtly screened by the ‘Glasgow Buckle’ (bespoke
garden metal work which may be excluded from the sale) and a series of raised borders in the form of the Celtic ring. The garage and undercroft parking area are approached via a rear access way.

Situation
The house occupies a very convenient location in Alton and is only about half a mile from the mainline railway station and High Street. The historic market town of Alton has a good range of High Street shops, Waitrose, M&S Simply Food, Aldi and Lidl. There are weekly and specialist markets, schooling for all age groups including a sixth form college and Alton School (independent school). Alton also has a sports centre, two outlying golf courses and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for a number of country pursuits.
