Anstey Road, Alton, GU34

A very special opportunity to purchase a handsome and spacious semi-detached family house standing in a convenient location of the town with a rear garden extending to about 87ft/26.5m. The house has light and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, large sash windows and is complemented by a delightful garden and ample off road parking. The house retains many of the features associated with a building of this period of exposed pine floorboards, tall skirting boards and picture rails. The feeling of space is immediate with a very generous reception hall with a quarry tiled floor and stained glass windows and a stunning sitting room with floor to ceiling windows together with doors opening into the garden room. Bi-fold doors open out from the garden room to the brick paved terrace and garden. There is also a beautifully proportioned dining room and kitchen/breakfast room to the ground floor. The accommodation to the ground floor is completed with a shower room and useful storage cupboards set off the reception hall as well as a rear porch linking to the utility room, gardeners WC and store room.

A broad staircase leads to a large first floor landing (with a linen cupboard), four spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. Of note, there is a partially complete en-suite to the principal bedroom. There is also potential to create additional accommodation (if required) by potentially converting the useful outbuilding to the rear and the loft area as well (subject to any necessary planning and building control consents).

The house provides a very rare opportunity to purchase a home that has been occupied by the same family for the last 48 years or so and is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Outside

The garden is a very special feature of the property and extends to about 87ft/26.5m. There is an area of brick paved terrace to the rear providing an ideal outside seating area and adjoining the garden room. A door provides access to the store room adjoining the utility room. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of young and mature trees and established hedging. There is side and rear access to the garden. A gate to the rear of the garden provides access to a further parking area (approached via the driveway of the adjoining property).

There is a brick paved parking area to the front of the house with space for at least two vehicles.

Situation

The house stands within about half a mile of the High Street and playing fields of Anstey Park and a quarter of a mile of the mainline railway station and Waitrose. The historic market town of Alton has a good range of High Street shops, weekly and specialist markets, M&S Simply Food, Sainsbury's, schooling for all age groups, further education college, two outlying golf courses and mainline station to London Waterloo. Of note, the village of Chawton is about three miles distant and is situated within the northern borders of the South Downs National Park. The SDNP and surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for many country pursuits. The A31 provides a route to the A3 and M3 linking to London, the South Coast and beyond.
