Alton Lane, Four Marks, GU34

The house is beautifully appointed and is an exceptional
family home with bright and well-proportioned accommodation. Features of note include a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room. The bespoke kitchen is set around a large island and is fitted with a range of cabinets, pan drawers and granite work surfaces. This is a magnificent room extending to 22’9/6.94 with sliding doors opening out to the terrace overlooking the garden to the paddocks and farmland beyond. Importantly, the efficiency of the house is assisted by a Wamsler K178 wood burning stove. The stove is connected to the gas boiler via an H2 panel. This enables both boilers to work simultaneously or individually, with automatic or manual selection. The house can be heated using wood only or gas only, or a combination of both. The further generous living accommodation includes a spacious triple aspect sitting room with sliding doors opening out to the garden together with a fireplace and a wood burning stove. There is also a utility room (which can be accessed separately from the main house) and is set away from the principal living accommodation.
The ground floor accommodation is completed with a well-proportioned study and cloakroom. There are four double bedrooms including a very impressive principal bedroom suite with an en suite shower room. Of note, there is also a separate and very stylish family bathroom with a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. The property also has the benefit of an annexe with independent access and formed of a living/bedroom
and recently replaced shower room (2023). The overall accommodation is complemented by a very useful outbuilding set to the rear of the house. The flexible multiple aspect outbuilding extends to 27’7/8.4m and is currently used as a gym/music room as well as an occasional ‘party barn’. Rowandale House is a very appealing family home standing in an attractive and tranquil setting with stunning views.
