Flat for sale in Alton GU34, 4 Bedroom

A beautifully appointed and spacious house of great character and charm standing adjacent to Kings Pond and within about a quarter of a mile of the mainline railway station. The existing owners have created a very welcoming family home whilst retaining all of the period charm with exposed beams and fireplaces. Some parts of the property date back to the 17th Century and the generous and flexible living accommodation includes a spacious sitting room, dining room and conservatory. The characterful sitting room, with a fireplace and wood burning stove, opens directly into the conservatory with double doors to the garden. The dining room, also with doors to the primarily south west facing garden, stands at the heart of the house with a connecting door to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream fronted cabinets together with an Aga range cooker, a six ring gas hob and three electric ovens. There are four bedrooms to the first floor. The bedrooms are complemented by a stylish traditional bathroom with panelled walls, bath with rain shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. There is also a useful detached annexe, 'The Lodge', comprising two large rooms and a shower room. The Lodge could be utilised for a variety of different purposes including a home office, ancillary living accommodation or hobby / games rooms.

Situation
The house is well placed in the town being adjacent to Kings Pond and about a quarter of a mile from Waitrose and the railway station connecting to London Waterloo. The historic market town of Alton has a good range of high street shops, weekly and specialist markets, senior schools, further education college, Alton Convent school, sports centre and two outlying golf courses as well as the Watercress Mid Hants Steam Railway. Much of the appeal of Alton is its strategic position amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the regional towns of Basingstoke, Winchester and Guildford.

Outside
The house stands within well-tended landscaped grounds with a predominantly south west aspect. The garden provides an established setting with an area of lawn together with well stocked flower and rose borders and a variety of young and mature trees. A paved terrace adjoins the dining room and provides an ideal outside seating area. There is also a further area of terrace with a fine outlook over the garden. A private driveway provides ample parking and access to the detached two room annexe. There is a useful enclosed area to the rear of the garage with a timber workshop and store. A gate to the side provides direct access to Kings Pond.
