New Road, Micheldever Station

THE PROPERTY: Just off Overton Road, down a small and quiet residential street, the house features a private driveway at the front, providing convenient off-street parking for one to two vehicles and adjoining path leading up to the small covered entrance porch. The brick façade is both traditional and pleasant, with a small collection of rose bushes to the front.

On entering the home, a small hallway welcomes you into the cosy yet generous front and south facing living room, completed with electric fireplace and original fireplace surround for added character. Through the living room and to the rear, you'll find the spacious and tastefully extended open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfect for family meals or entertaining guests. The kitchen is fitted with modern wall and base units and ample countertop space. Glazed double doors lead directly out to the manicured rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Completing the ground floor is a W/C, which also houses the combi boiler, and a useful under-stair cloakroom.

The first floor is where you will find the two double bedrooms, both large enough for double beds, wardrobes and additional storage, one overlooking the front of the house and the other overlooking the rear garden, both ideal for children, guests or a home office space. Located on the first floor is also the four-piece family bathroom, with bath and separate shower. Additionally there is a loft hatch, with retractable ladder.

The primary bedroom, located on the top floor, is of a generous size, benefitting from a stylish en-suite and views across the rear garden.

The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn, with a paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining or summer barbecues. The fenced boundaries and collection of shrubs give the garden a secluded and private feel.

HISTORY:
Believed to have been built in the 1860's and updated throughout the years, before then being extended in 2017. The village of Micheldever Station is a village just a couple of miles outside Micheldever, taking its name from the mainline station to London/Southampton. The station was originally named Andover Road until Andover got its own station, whereupon it changed to Micheldever Station, which then became a small village now encompassing the houses around it and The Dove Inn public house. A fun fact is that on 6th July 1895, the first motor car journey in England was undertaken from Micheldever Station!
