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

A fine intriguing hop kiln conversion offering versatile accommodation including a dining kitchen and 3 bath/shower rooms located in the centre of an historic village within the South Downs National Park. CHAIN-FREE SALE.

Description
The kilns are believed to date from the 1860s and were converted into four splendid period homes in 1990. With great character and versatility, the main accommodation is spread over three floors and lends itself to some updating. The accommodation provides 3/4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an en-suite shower room, a particularly fine sized drawing room and dining kitchen, the fulchrum of the house, a utility room, cloakroom and galleried halls. There is also a crow\‘s nest study with far reaching country views across the Wey Valley to the North Downs. A balcony surveys the gardens whilst internal characteristics range from the dark oak joinery to the deep silled windows. Externally there is exposed stonework, brickwork and weather boarding to the elevations. Rich in charm and space, the property also has smooth finished ceilings, the majority of which are coved, double glazing, a gas heating system with most of the radiators incorporating thermostatic controls, a security alarm and lighting system. The delightful gardens complement the house and have the added benefit of a double garage approached by an impressively broad and long drive from Isington Road.

The neighbouring village of Bentley has a commuter rail service to London Waterloo whilst Alton (within 4 miles) and Farnham town centres provide varied shops, stores and supermarkets, schools, colleges and sports centres.
