This is a rare opportunity to purchase a characterful and spacious period property with a large garden in the centre of Alton, and within walking distance to a mainline railway station. There will be a “launch day” to view the property. Contact the agent to book your slot and avoid disappointment!

Inside:

The sitting room has a fireplace with a wood burning stove and brick surround and a beautiful hard wood mantle piece. This adjoins to the dining room to create an open plan communal living space. The dining room has a feature fireplace and a door positioned to the rear providing access to the kitchen. The wooden floor, carpets and extra-wide log burning stove were all installed last year.

The kitchen features a range of country-style wall and base units with woodblock surfaces, a built in oven with a five ring gas hob, a built in dishwasher, ample space for appliances, a one and a half bowl ceramic sink and drainer unit and a stable style door which leads out to the garden.

Positioned to the rear of the sitting room is a well-proportioned room which could be used as a large study area or alternative living space. There is a large built in book shelf, deep understairs cupboards and a useful cloakroom. The gallery style stair case leads to a bright and spacious upper hallway dressed with a hard wood bannister.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the front two bedrooms off the landing area are large double rooms with front aspect double glazed windows which look out onto a “living wall” with flowering plants which provide privacy, especially given the central location. Bedroom three is ideal as a single room, nursery or study area.

The bathroom has an enclosed bath unit, WC, wash hand basin and a rear aspect double glazed window.

The property benefits from double glazed windows throughout, beams and country style doors with wrought iron latches.

Outside:

To the rear there is a large and well-established garden with several distinct areas. A pergola of mature wisteria and jasmine provides shelter above a patio seating area. This is adjacent to an open terrace which gets a lot of sun - perfect for those long, summer evenings!

A further area of lawn follows with well-stocked borders and a beautiful, mature magnolia tree. There is a large shed/workshop with power and lighting and double glazed windows. There is also a greenhouse.

The garden then continues to a very large plot which is currently set up with raised beds for growing a variety of vegetables. There are apple and pear trees, a fig tree, a grape vine, blackcurrents, gooseberries and raspberries already well-established. This garden really needs to be seen to be believed given its unusual size for a town centre property.

Free parking is available a very close to the property. Bank Car park is just at the bottom of the hill. Residents can buy a discounted season ticket if they wish, though the current owners haven’t had a need to purchase one due to the easily accessible designated parking spaces.

Location:

In the heart and historic centre of Alton market town. The property is on a quite no-through lane with very close proximity to the high street, library and local amenities. Flood meadows is just behind the property providing easy access for country walks. St Lawrence church is at the top of the hill, along with St Lawrence primary school and Amery Hill Secondary School.

Alton has a thriving community and an array of social groups including the Alton Local Food Initiative (ALFI), Alton Climate Network, Alton Operatics and Dramatic Society (AODS), several choirs, dance and sports group. There is a weekly market (on a Tuesday), a farmers market each month and regular public events held in the Alton Public Gardens.
