The Close, Hatherden, SP11

A rare opportunity to acquire an extended and enhanced family home in a desirable village location, bordering open countryside. The property benefits from a quiet village cul-de-sac position with generous off-street parking and a practical, terraced rear garden with modern outbuildings. The well-presented accommodation offers a light and airy, spacious theme throughout and comprises an entrance hallway, a living room with access to a conservatory, a recently fitted kitchen/breakfast room complete with wood-burning stove, a cloakroom, a separate dining room and a practical utility area.

The Close can be found just off Hatherden Lane in the centre of the village of Hatherden, three and a half miles north of Andover and on the southern edge of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape. The village of Hatherden is within the civil parish of Tangley, along with the neighbouring village of Wildhern and the hamlet of Charlton Down. Hatherden itself is home to the Old Bell & Crown pub, less than half a mile from the property whilst wider Parish facilities include a village hall, sports pitches and The Fox Inn, as well as access to numerous public footpaths that allow exploration of the surrounding countryside. Andover offers a range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, including a college of further education, a cinema, theatre and a leisure centre. The nearby A303 offers good road access to both London and the West Country, with the location lending itself perfectly to those who might need to commute to London via the train with a choice of available mainline stations within less than a half-hour drive (Great Bedwyn and Hungerford into Paddington in less than an hour or Andover into Waterloo in just over an hour).
