Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Alresford, SO24 :

LAUNCH DAY Saturday 20 August - view by appointment An unusual opportunity to acquire a circa 1933 detached bungalow with a 1979 built 4-roomed annexe lending itself to modernisation and alteration in a set back village location opposite fields.

Description
Totalling 3 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms with 2 kitchens and 2 shower/bathrooms, the property also has an extensive driveway with parking and a double garage. The cottage character is evident from the higher ceilings, picture rails, traditional recessed panelled internal doors and fireplaces, two of which are open with a log burner and range in two further fireplaces. There are seasonal views across the main road to fields and the Watercress Line. Heating is via thermostatically controlled electric heaters together with the fires. A South Easterly aspect is enjoyed to the rear whilst the mainly floored loft has interestingly windows at both gable ends. This is a property full of potential.

Location
Naturally screened in its own gardens, the property lies between Ropley Dean and North Street, Ropley being towards the North Westerly country outskirts of the parish of Ropley village. The immediate surroundings include mainly detached properties of varying ages, sizes and types on the same side of the A31. In the best traditions, Ropley has a well preserved village centre which incorporates a primary school, shop and post office, unique coffee/meeting room, village hall and sports field, and an ecclectic mix of sports and interest clubs and a programme of events. Footpaths and bridleways traverse the surrounding countryside with the serene valley of the River Itchen to the West. The major centres of Alton, Petersfield and Winchester have High Street shops, state and private schools, colleges, commuter trains to London Waterloo and golf courses, whilst Alresford, 3 miles away, has a landmark Broad Street, useful shops, Perins Academy senior school and annual agricultural shows and watercress festivals in September and May respectively.
