Goodyers, Alton, Hampshire

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully enhanced five-bedroom detached residence, discreetly positioned within one of Alton’s most desirable and established residential settings.

Thoughtfully extended and meticulously improved by the current owners, this impressive family home offers expansive and exceptionally versatile accommodation, perfectly tailored to the demands of contemporary family life, including multi-generational living. Carefully considered additions have introduced a stunning garden room, together with an intelligently designed extension incorporating a utility room, fifth bedroom and family bathroom, significantly elevating both practicality and flexibility.

The ground floor unfolds from an elegant and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. A well-appointed study with bespoke built-in storage provides an ideal environment for home working, while the beautifully proportioned sitting room, enhanced by an attractive bay window, offers a refined space in which to relax. This flows effortlessly into the striking garden room, a wonderfully light-filled retreat with sliding doors opening onto the gardens, creating an exceptional setting for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining.

Perfectly positioned for formal dining and family gatherings alike, the dining room enjoys direct access to the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The contemporary kitchen is both stylishly presented and highly functional, while a conveniently located cloakroom sits off the hallway. Beyond the kitchen lies a generously sized utility room, leading to a practical drying/boot room with internal access to the garage, an invaluable addition for modern family life.

To the first floor, five beautifully proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal suite benefits from a private ensuite shower room, while bedroom two enjoys built-in storage. Bedrooms three and four are generous doubles, one currently arranged as a sewing room, and together with bedroom five provide exceptional versatility, equally suited as guest accommodation, home offices, dressing rooms or creative spaces. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the property is further distinguished by its magnificent wrap-around gardens, affording a notable degree of privacy and an enviable sense of tranquillity. A substantial terrace spans the rear of the home, perfectly designed for al fresco dining and entertaining, complemented by an additional paved seating area to the side. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are beautifully enriched by a pond, pergola-covered seating area and garden shed, creating a delightful outdoor environment for relaxation and recreation.

To the front, a generous driveway provides extensive off-road parking alongside a single garage, while solar panels contribute to enhanced energy efficiency.

Properties of this distinction, combining scale, versatility and an enviable location, seldom come to market. Early viewing is highly advised.
