Wilsom Road, Alton, GU34 2SR

The heart of the home is the modern kitchen diner with elegant cream cabinets and premium granite worktops. Equipped with an electric oven and gas hob, this bright social room has space for the whole family to eat, and access to the back garden, making it perfect for family life and entertaining. Also overlooking the garden is the generous, light-filled, double-aspect sitting room with patio doors offering seamless indoor-outdoor living.

At the front of the house are two more large flexible rooms. One is currently a substantial home office (with handy understairs storage), while the other provides an ideal double guest bedroom/hobby room with fitted storage—perfect for multi-generational living or dedicated leisure space.

Also on the ground floor, a practical utility/cloakroom has space for appliances and features a large built-in airing cupboard surrounding the Megaflow hot water tank. This creates an exceptional, cost-effective solution for quickly drying laundry, especially during the winter months.

There are three bedrooms upstairs. All have built in eaves storage, and both dormer and Velux windows. The smaller two rooms are perfect for growing children, and have space for a double bed as they reach adulthood. One gets the evening sunset, the other views over the back garden. They share a modern family bathroom with a bath, shower and heated towel rail. 

The landing gives access to a small boarded and insulated loft, ideal for extra storage, and the master bedroom suite overlooking the garden. This has a generous ensuite bathroom with a bath and separate shower, a large walk-in closet with lots of hanging space, and yet more eaves storage.

The exceptional outside space is a true highlight. The rarely available almost quarter-acre plot starts with the attractive front garden. This has parking for 3 cars, plus a garage with light and power, and wiring for an EV charger. There is secure side access to the rear garden past the kitchen, and a patio accessible from the living room. An attractive brick shed with tile roof gives storage for bikes, tools and space for a chest freezer. The back garden is enclosed and flat—a dream for children and dogs. Whilst there is plenty of scope for keen gardeners, just mowing the lawn is enough to keep it looking tidy. Mature trees and shrubs give character and year-round interest, and produce raspberries, cherries, plums and apples. The current owners grow tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in the greenhouse, and enjoy feeding the visiting birds including goldfinches and woodpeckers.

Cool in the summer and cosy in the winter, Mayland has plenty of space for a family of four, but with potential to be extended and enhanced, subject to planning permission. It’s a short walk to the station or Waitrose, passing the herons in Kings Pond. The station has mainline trains to London Waterloo (and steam trains to Alresford).

All the local schools are rated “Good” by Ofsted. Alton Infant School is the closest—only a 3 minute drive or an 8 minute walk away. Older children can walk to both Eggar's or Amery Hill School senior schools, and to Alton College for further education.

Alton is a thriving market town with a great selection of independent shops on its Georgian High Street—just a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive away. The town has an M&S, Sainsbury’s, Aldi & Lidl; an extensive range of pubs and restaurants; and a new sports centre, pool and spa. If you’re looking for a greater choice of shops or places to eat, being close to the A31 means you can drive to Guildford, Winchester or Basingstoke in just over half an hour.

For those who enjoy walking, the Hangers Way passes the front door, and has you in the countryside for stunning local walks in under 15 minutes. Cyclists will love (and hate) the hills of the South Downs Country Park, with on and off road routes within 10 minutes of jumping on a bike.

With space to live comfortably, a garden to enjoy in every season, and a location that has all the essentials within easy reach, Mayland is a beautiful family home that gives you more time to enjoy the things you love.
