Semi-detached house for sale in Alresford SO24, 7 Bedroom

A stunning conversion of a former Coaching Inn in the centre of Alresford’s famous Conservation Area.

With elegant period features and stylish contemporary design mixed to form a delightful family home, 22 Pound Hill offers a wealth of flexible accommodation and airy space in an enviable location that includes 5 main bedrooms, 3 reception rooms and a glorious family kitchen coupled with a large garden and off-street parking.

Entering through the double doors, and on through a small porch area, the Entrance Hall is light and bright with exposed floorboards. To the right there’s a glass wall opening onto to the Drawing Room, with its open fireplace. To the left a door opens onto the Dining Room which, in turn leads through to a Snug Room.

It’s the Kitchen that forms the centre of this great family home, with a long central island and breakfast bar, an Aga and ‘acres’ of preparation and storage space this is a lovely room. From here windows overlook the garden and flood the room with natural light.

Upstairs to the 1st floor a wide landing is framed by an archway and lit by a large window opening onto the garden. To the left from here is the Master Suite, with a bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. On this floor there are 3 further bedrooms and a stunning bathroom with fireplace and freestanding bath.

The second floor has another four rooms offering a wealth of flexible space and lovely views across Alresford’s townscape.

Being a former Inn the cellars are extensive and retain many original features reflecting the house’s former history. They, at the very least, provide plentiful storage space and offer, subject to the usual permissions, potential to convert into further living accommodation.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, edged with espaliered fruit trees and a gravel drive, secured by double gates, to the left. To the rear of the garden a Summer House/Home Office fronts a terraced area with a sunken hot-tub and, beyond the terrace, a useful garden storage area.

Pound Hill sweeps down from Alresford's iconic tree-lined Avenue before opening up into the busy market town.

Number 22 sits back from the road and is reached by a service road protected by grass verges. It is a short walk from the many shops and services available in the town and yet is just minutes from long river walks and the further countryside.

Alresford is a beautiful Georgian town sporting a plethora of fine colour-washed homes. An extensive range of boutiques, galleries and specialist shops retailing such items as antiques, gifts, food and clothing. The centre sees also a thriving café culture supported by a host of eateries, pubs, hotels and restaurants.
