Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Alresford, SO24 :

A charming, comfortable and good sized attached cottage offering 3/4 bedroom accommodation and a large garden in a delightful central village setting enhanced by Southerly country views.

Description
Believed to date from the early-mid Victorian era, the property is embellished with flint, brick and tile hung elevations under slate roofs incorporating a two storey rear extension, which captures the outlook over the Southerly facing garden, the adjoining field and gently rolling countryside beyond. Being one of a dissimilar adjoining pair, the cottage has a wealth of character features. Higher ceilings upstairs, stripped natural and contemporary pine internal doors, several picture rails, deep skirting boards and moulded architraves, and two fireplaces are to name a few. This resplendent cottage has remained in the same family ownership since the first half of the 20th century and now has the benefit of an oil heating system with radiators and individual thermostatic controls to the bedrooms, uPVC double glazing with majority fanlights and security window locks, and uPVC finish to the main facia boards.

Location
The cottage lies in the very heart of Ropley village set away from main roads and enjoys open aspects to both the front and rear over the recreation fields diagonally opposite and a meadow respectively. In the best traditions of village life, Ropley has a well conserved village centre which incorporates a primary school, shop and post office, Church of St Peter under restoration, unique coffee/meeting room, village hall with a toddlers nursery, and an ecclectic mix of sports and interest clubs, and a programme of events including the annual pram race. Footpaths featuring St Swithin's Way 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, major stores, state and private schools, colleges, commuter trains to London Waterloo and golf courses, whilst Alresford, 3 miles away, has a famous Broad Street, useful shops, Perins Academy senior school and annual agricultural shows and watercress festivals in September and May respectively.
