Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Alton, GU34 :
A charming circa 1862 detached cottage of excellent proportions affording 4 double bedroom, 2 en-suite accommodation with an outstanding living dining kitchen nestling in a favoured level setting between the historic town centre and The Butts.
Description
High Street within 0.25 mile. This much admired period home has been impressively extended and enhanced in harmony with its origins yet exudes a great sense of family space, present day living and character evidenced by the bespoke living dining kitchen with its lantern roof and fusion with the delightful enclosed garden. During the last decade, the present owners have also installed new double glazed sash windows, carefully re-planned the internal layout, added a second bedroom suite and renovated the exterior including the roof.
Description 2
Upon entering the property, you will discover heated limestone floors, higher ceilings with part vaulting upstairs and traditional recessed panelled internal doors with brass handles. Fireplaces have been retained with working fireplaces to the two main reception areas. This lovingly adored home features white sanitaryware, heating via a gas boiler serving thermostatically controlled radiators and an underfloor system, and a mains pressure hot water supply. The attractively stocked garden complements the cottage and has a good degree of privacy.
Location
All Saints Cottage nestles in Queens Road, a much favoured road originally known as All Saints Road, lying South West of the town centre, which is within a level walk. In addition to The Butts, a local landmark green, nearby facilities include The Butts Primary School, neighbouring All Saints Church, several inns, useful small businesses, and a network of intriguing town footpaths, which also lead out to the rolling Hampshire countryside surrounding Alton. Revered for its connections with Jane Austen, the English Civil War and walking, this old market town has varied shops, stores such as Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury's, hotels and restaurants, a library, the Curtis Museum, Allen Gallery and the station with its commuter link to London Waterloo - minimum journey time 67 minutes. There are primary, senior and Convent schools, Alton College, fitness clubs, a sports centre and, on the outskirts, 2 golf courses.
