Junction Road, Andover, SP10

Andover’s Junction Road is well known locally for its eclectic range of property, most of which were originally constructed either side of the turn of twentieth century. This property is a very fine example with a host of original period features throughout but with more than one twist towards modern living, firmly bringing this charming family home into the twenty-first century. The location of the property is excellent with its proximity to numerous local amenities including schools, Andover’s town centre along with the mainline railway station. The wider road transport network is a short drive from the property in any direction as is open countryside. Well-presented throughout, the unique accommodation comprises a front entrance lobby that leads into an entrance hallway. The ground floor is arranged with three individual reception rooms; a front aspect sitting room with a glazed bay, a dual-aspect family room and a dining room with a glazed bay with French doors. To the rear of the ground floor is an extended kitchen and WC. The first floor provides a spacious master bedroom suite, three further individual bedrooms and a bathroom.

The outside space also has much to offer and includes generous driveway parking to the front and access to a modern tandem garage. Gated side access leads to the first and larger of two courtyard garden areas with access to a modern and spacious studio measuring approx 25’ x 9’ complete with a wood-burning stove. There is also a separate summerhouse and garden shed/store all with power and lighting along with mature flower, vegetable and fruit beds, fruit trees, a lawn and garden pond.

LOCATION:

Andover offers a range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities including a college of further education, a cinema, theatre and leisure centre as well as numerous nearby notable tourist attractions. The mainline railway station is just half a mile from the property and runs a direct route to London's Waterloo in just over an hour whilst the nearby A303 offers good road access to both London and the West Country. Junction Road links the Broadway at its southern end and Cross Lane just off Charlton Road at its northern end near the mainline railway station. Junction Road is a no-through road, having been blocked at its midpoint at the end of the twentieth century, which, in doing so, put paid to commuters using the route as a quick access road to and from the railway station. Now, the road is a typical quiet residential road with an interesting mix of properties, the earliest of which were constructed in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Just off Junction Road, the area to the west contains a number of residential roads built in an area known as "Victoria Park" after Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. The property benefits from a location with proximity to a host of local amenities whilst being a short distance from both open countryside and Andover's town centre with its High Street less than half a mile away. There is a very good choice of schools all within a short distance along with local amenities that include convenience stores, public houses, fast food outlets, GP and Dental practices, Andover’s War Memorial Hospital, a petrol station and Charlton Lakeside Leisure Park.
