Full Details for 1 Bedroom Detached for sale in Alton, GU34 :
A truly fascinating Grade II Listed building formerly an Old Butchers Shop boasting a wealth of charm and character having been sympathetically converted into a residential dwelling by the current owner to a superb standard.
Description
The property we believe dates back to the early 1700's having previously been the local Butchers Shop constructed with Limestone and Oak. It is said that Gilbert White himself in 1756 planted four Lime trees to the front of which two remain. They were planted to disguise the smell and site of the shop. The property is in a superb location with many people visiting the village for its popular country walks, outdoor pursuits and history. It would make a fantastic weekend retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.The upgrading has been carefully thought out giving this historical building some modern touches whilst maintaining its character. The electrics have been upgraded and the lighting is via a remote control system allowing the resident to choose ambient mood lighting. The majority of the windows are double glazed and there is a broadband connection to the property.
Description cont:
The open plan living/kitchen area measures 18'0 x 12'9 with ceilings height measuring 15'7 at its peak. There is a flagstone floor and heating is via cast iron Victorian style radiators with the addition of a small duel fuel Range with hob and oven. The kitchen area is at one end of the building with appliance space for a fridge and washing machine. There is a Butler style sink and the worktop is made of Oak. The cast iron spiral staircase was sourced from a stately home in Oxford and leads to the mezzanine floor with reclaimed Pine floor boards and Oak beams. The feeling of space is enhanced with the cut to size toughened safety glass overlooking part of the reception room below. The shower room comprises; fitted shower cubicle with twin curved glass screen with wall mounted 'Mira' shower, 'Burlingham' wash hand basin with storage cupboard below, low level WC, cast iron Victorian style electric radiator and frosted window to rear aspect.
Outside
Outside to the front is a delightful sun terrace/veranda ideal for enjoying a nice drink and watching the world go by. At the rear of the property is a timber storage shed.
Additional Information
The property has a council tax band A. Further information on the village and surrounding area can be found on the Selborne Parish Coucil website. Link:http://selborneparishcouncil.gov.uk/Selborne-Pc/the_village_of_selborne-2651.aspx
Location
Located within the Conservation Area, the property is centrally positioned in the High Street of this pretty Hampshire village. Cobbett in 1823 noted that \"nothing could surpass in beauty these dales and hillocks and hangers\". In true country traditions, the village has a post office/general stores, several specialist establishments, a primary school, church, village hall, recreation ground and 2 inns, and lies between the country towns of Alton and Petersfield. Selborne within the South Downs National Park is also renowned for its network of unique walks and its connections with the 18th Century naturalist Gilbert White.
Location cont:
The abundant walks include the Zig Zag, the Lythe, Noar Hill and 21 mile long Hangers Way with much of the local area in the ownership of the National Trust and the Blackmoor Estate. Alton's High Street is within 4.5 miles and has varied shops, M&S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose stores, 2 senior schools, Alton College, the Convent school, a sports centre and a commuter rail service to Waterloo. Alternatively, there is a train station at Liss on the Portsmouth-London line. The A3 links with London and the South Coast.
