Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Alton, GU34 :

Embracing a contemporary twist with a character feel, an individual detached family house with country views near the centre of a highly respected village.

Description
The property has been carefully and extensively improved since the early 2000's by the present owners to create an impressive family home with comfort, warmth and a friendly atmosphere in mind. There are numerous notable characteristics, one of the primary ones being the superb dining kitchen. The uPVC double glazing has chrome finished handles, whilst the heating system powers radiators, the majority of which incorporate thermostatic valves. The main heating thermostat is wireless and can be moved throughout the house providing complete heating control where needed. There are oak veneered internal doors with chrome handles to the lifestyle kitchen and white panelled doors elsewhere. Contemporary features are complemented by stylish white sanitaryware and smooth ceilings, most of which display coving. The three main bedrooms are not only doubles but also enjoy views over the meadows opposite towards the parish chuch, primary school and village hall.

Location
Daxcroft occupies a favoured village setting with just a handful of individual homes and a farm/equestrian centre in the neighbourhood. Across the meadow opposite is the Conservation Area protected village centre where you will discover St Mary's C of E primary school and church, the village hall, and the picturesque green. In true village tradition, there are annual events including a fete, a gardening club and local societies, the well known Sun Inn, a pond and the cricket club. The community also possesses a golden postbox resulting from the 2012 London Olympics. High in the Hampshire hills, Bentworth is encompassed by unspoilt countryside traversed by footpaths, bridleways and byways. The Woodland Trust land is towards nearby Burkham. The major towns of Alton (4 miles drive to the Market Square), Basingstoke and Winchester are within reach, the foremost having High Street shops, stores including Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury's, senior schools and an FE college, a sports centre and a commuter rail service to London Waterloo (minimum journey time 67 minutes). There are also private schools with the diversity of the area evidenced by gliding at Lasham, golf courses near Alton, Four Marks and Alresford, fly fishing on the Itchen and indoor cricket at Dummer.
