Ackender Road, Alton, GU34

A beautifully appointed and very welcoming extended Edwardian house with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, large windows and fireplaces. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and has been carefully improved by the existing owners to create a very appealing family home. The generous accommodation includes a stunning twin aspect family kitchen/dining room, a spacious sitting room and a study/play room. The elegant and tranquil sitting room has an attractive bay window and a lovely fireplace. The study/play room provides flexible space for everyday family living. The bespoke kitchen is set around an island and has been finished with a range of cabinets and quartz work surfaces together with a gas range. The flexible accommodation also includes a boot/utility room (with ample storage space) and a ground floor cloakroom. There are four bedrooms including a spacious principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The en suite shower room and family bathroom have been finished with bespoke white sanitary ware with a large walk-in showers and a freestanding bath in the bathroom. The existing owners have carefully enlarged the house and undertaken a programme of sympathetic renovation whilst retaining all of the inherent character of the original building with improvements made to the wiring, windows and plumbing. Importantly, the house is complemented by a landscaped garden and off road driveway parking.

Outside

The garden has been landscaped to take full advantage of the mature and south-west setting. The garden to the rear is attractively arranged around a circular lawn with paved terraces and well-established borders and several young and mature trees. There is also a very useful storage outbuilding. A shingle driveway provides parking to the front.

Situation

The house occupies a very convenient location in Alton and is only about a quarter of a mile from the High Street and public gardens and just over a mile to the mainline station. 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.
