Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Alton, GU34 :
Set in an unrivalled rural location in grounds exceeding 5 acres off the beaten track, an intriguing stone facaded detached country house offering extended 4 double bedroom accommodation in an unfinished state. Alton 3 miles.
Description
Created by substantial enlargement during the early 2000s yet offering tremendous further potential, Stone Hut is an unique property displaying high ceilings within its mezzanine planned 3 main levels of accommodation with its origins believed to date back to 1923. The incomplete new structure is block and beam with part reclaimed limestone elevations and brick quoining with much older flintwork also in evidence. There is the benefit of a mains gas heating system with the radiators incorporating thermostatic valves, leaded light Pilkington glass double glazing to the majority of the property, a high end kitchen, Cat 5 and BT cabling to the first floor, and a generous supply of power points. The tumbling rural aspect over its own grounds and neighbouring countryside to the south east is enjoyed by the living dining kitchen and all 4 bedrooms. Externally, the property is complemented by its undercroft garaging and designated games room area, a home office building and a range of outbuildings in a varying state of repair.
Location
Approached by an unmade drive over 0.2 mile in length off Kings Hill, the nearest adopted road, Stone Hut occupied an unsurpassed, hidden and tranquil location encompassed by its own gardens, grounds and neighbouring fields set between Kings Hill, Beech and Wivelrod. Lying 600 feet above sea level, there are views from the first floor stretching across Bushy Leaze Wood towards Binsted on the horizon. The parishes of the revered hilltop village of Bentworth and the traditional and thriving village of Medstead are nearby. Beech village provides an active social calendar, village hall, St Peter's Church, a recreation ground and a network of footpaths leading into the undulating countryside of the North Downs. Bentworth includes a C of E primary school and 2 inns, whilst the A339 and B3349 enable access to Basingstoke and the M3 junction 5 respectively with the Thames Valley beyond. A commuter rail link to Waterloo is available from Alton (journey time minimum 67 minutes). In 'Jane Austen country', Alton, an old market town, also has individual shops and stores such as M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Boots and Iceland, weekly and specialist open air market events, senior schools, Alton Convent, Alton FE College, a sports centre, fitness clubs and 2 outlying golf courses. Further local landmarks including gliding at Lasham, museums in Alton, Chawton and Selborne, private education at Lord Wandsworth College and trout fishing on the chalk streams of the Itchen Valley.
