Owners Comments,
All upgrades, modifications and refurbishment work completed by us, the current vendors, have been undertaken not only to meet our intergenerational needs, but also to ensure that the home remains highly versatile and appealing to future owners.

With either five bedrooms and one reception room, or four bedrooms and two reception rooms, this property will fulfil the needs of more than most buyers.

The flexible ground floor space not only provides the option for a self-contained one bed ground floor annex, for an aging relative or an aspiringly independent teen or college leaver, it also provides the option for a generous and private working from home office / consulting room space.

However the flexible ground floor space is used, it has the added benefit of separate access via the rear garden, which would also lend it to have the potential for a holiday let for generating an extra revenue stream.

Our home is well situated for commuting by road or rail and well placed for local schools and infrastructure, it is also within walking distance of the Basingstoke College bus route, as well as more than one of the regular daily routes into Andover town centre.

Improvements made to date include: a brand new fitted kitchen, boiler, central heating and hot water systems upgraded; re-designed utility and shower rooms and most recently a completely new roof and upgraded loft insulation. Even this work was done with future proofing in mind. With the spacious standing room loft not yet converted, rigid insulation boards were specified to enable anyone looking to realise the potential for further living accommodation in this generous space, can save on material costs by re-using the insulation boards during the fit-out.

Overall, this property is effectively a Tardis as it holds far more behind the scenes than any photograph or drive-by will imply. It really is a house that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate the flexible home that it is.
