A very welcoming and spacious detached Edwardian house with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, large windows and fireplaces. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and is a very appealing individual family home occupying a mature garden of just over a quarter of an acre with a variety of areas of interest.

The flexible accommodation includes a dining room with a fireplace and a generous sitting room with double doors opening out to the conservatory. The conservatory provides a natural link between the house and mature garden and a versatile space for everyday family living. The elegant and tranquil sitting room has an attractive bay window and a fireplace. The standalone kitchen has been finished with a range of cabinets and work surfaces together with a cooker/range. The accommodation also includes a ground floor twin aspect bedroom with an en suite shower room. This room is very flexible and could also be used as an additional reception room/play room/home office.

There is a family bathroom and three bedrooms including a spacious principal bedroom with a twin aspect to the first floor. The family bathroom has been finished a bath with a shower over, basin and WC.

Importantly, the house is complemented by a landscaped garden and off road driveway parking as well two garages.

Of note, planning permission was granted (now lapsed) in July 2007 (23497/002/FUL) for a two storey extension. This would enable the creation of a larger kitchen/family room to the ground floor and a fourth bedroom (with an en suite shower room) to the first floor.

Outside

The landscaped gardens and grounds provide a very attractive and established setting for the house. A paved terrace to the rear provides an ideal outdoor seating area with steps leading up to a broad area of lawn. There are a variety of areas of interest including a 'wild garden' area to the rear with a selection of young and mature trees, further areas of lawn and a natural getaway space for all ages. There is access from this part of the garden (via a shared track) to Princess Drive.

The house is approached at the front via a private tarmac driveway providing ample parking and access to each of the garages.

Situation

The house occupies one of the most sought after locations in Alton and is set amidst individual and distinctive period and 20th Century houses about a third of a mile from the High Street and just over a mile from the railway station for London Waterloo. 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 and two outlying golf courses. The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for a number of country pursuits. Of note, the South Downs National Park is to the south of the south of the town. HAM-59039
