Full Details for 2 Bedroom Terraced for sale in Alton, GU34 :
CHAIN-FREE SALE - Ripe for complete modernisatation, a circa 1900 two double bedroom cottage, the middle of an individual terrace of three, fronting the Meon Valley road yet affording a 33\‘7\" x 12\‘8\" garage/workshop and two garden areas to the rear
Description
Offering great potential for restoration and possible extension subject to the necessary consents, the property is a wide individual cottage retaining higher ceilings downstairs, slate rooves and, in the four main rooms, chimney breasts. There is double glazing, a large loft and two long garden areas ideal for landscaping and separated by the much more recently built twin sectioned garage/workshop. The far area backs onto paddocks. We understand the cottage has previously been connected to all main services including drainage.
Location
Kathleen Place is prominently set in the centre of Lower Farringdon village, which has historic connections with the long closed Meon Valley railway and is within the South Downs National Park. The immediate village surroundings provide country walks, bridleways and byways, the Golden Pheasant Inn and access via the A32 to Alton and further towns to the North, and the Meon Valley and coast to the South. Upper Farringdon includes a fine array of period and individual properties, the parish church and the Rose & Crown Inn among its landmarks. Jane Austen\‘s much admired village of Chawton has a primary school, specialist library and cricket club. Alton, an old market town, has individual and national retailers including Sainsbury\‘s, Waitrose, M&S, Boots, Iceland, Aldi and Wickes, a commuter service to London Waterloo (minimum journey time 67 minutes), senior and Alton Convent schools, a further education college, sports centre, 2 outlying golf courses, a programme of open air events and an intriguing Saxon, civil war and hop growing history. Locally, Brightstone Lane leads to Four Marks golf course, near one of the highest points in Hampshire.
