Claines Street, Alton, GU34 4DG

A Modern Apartment That Doesn’t Feel Like It’s In A Big Block Of Modern Apartments. On the top floor of a small self-contained building with just three other homes - and only a 15 min walk to the High Street and station. Overlooking Anstey Park with your own parking, nobody above you and no chain.

A lot of buyers rule out modern apartments before they've even started looking, unwilling to accept living in a big block - with shared corridors, a buzzer panel full of names you'll never learn and someone clattering around directly above you.

But this building has just four homes in it - and this flat sits on the top floor, with no one above you and only one other apartment sharing the first floor landing. 

The living and dining room runs to over 16 feet, with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony.

The kitchen sits open to the living space, with grey shaker-style units, a gas hob, integrated oven and dishwasher. There's space for a washing machine under the worktop. The compact layout doesn’t waste any space and works well day to day.

Both bedrooms are good sizes. The main bedroom has fitted sliding wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is another genuine double and has slightly smaller fitted wardrobes. There's also a separate family bathroom off the hallway.

There’s two allocated parking spaces outside but you're closer to the centre of town than you might expect, so you may not need a car. The High Street is only a 15-minute walk, and so is the station - which puts London Waterloo under an hour away.

The flat is in great condition and you really won’t need to do a thing but even so it’s good to know there’s a Wickes just a short walk away on the nearby Alton Retail Park, next to Costa and Aldi. 

The lease has around 110 years remaining and the property is being sold with no onward chain, so if you’ve already sold or are moving from rented accommodation there should be fewer delays and complications.

This could be perfect if you want the benefits of living in a modern apartment that you can lock up and leave - just without the anonymous-big block feeling.

It’s also been rented successfully for several years, suggesting it could also be a worthwhile addition to a portfolio for any investors looking for a turnkey, hassle free investment in a popular development.
