Property description
A circa 1960 individual 3 bedroom detached bungalow with potential to improve on a 0.2 acre garden plot with a South Easterly rear outlook in a well regarded village lane.
Description
Naturally screened and set back from the road, the property is in an established village location of mainly detached properties where several have been enlarged over the years. The bungalow has a layout enabling independent access to all the rooms from the good sized L-shaped reception hall whilst the lounge and kitchen/breakfast room enjoy the outlook over the rear garden. Being sold for the first time since 1983, this much loved home has been the subject of refitting of the kitchen and bathroom some years ago. There is also a gas heating system with radiators, double glazing with leaded lights to the front and replacement windows to the kitchen, and cavity wall insulation.
Location 1
The bungalow stands back behind a verge and hedged boundary fronting a village lane consisting of an attractive array of mainly individual, detached and established homes. This well respected Lymington Bottom area has the primary school, village hall, Church of the Good Shepherd, shortcut footpaths to the village centre and country walks in the vicinity. At the end of Blackberry Lane, Brislands Lane leads to the leisure area including a cricket pitch and allotments, whilst the village also has a varied range of shops with a garage/M&S outlet, a Tesco Express and Co-op, both doctors and vets surgeries, a golf course, garden centre, bus services and the Mid Hants steam railway.
Location 2
Renowned for its Jane Austen, civil war and ale brewing history, Alton's has a Georgian influenced High Street within 5 miles with independent and multiple shops, Sainsbury's, M&S, Boots and Iceland stores, regular open air and specialist market events, and its recent recognition for being walker friendly partly due to the Wey Valley lying between the North and South Downs. The town also provides senior and The Convent schools, Alton College, station (Waterloo line) and adjacent Waitrose store, Aldi, fitness clubs and a sports centre. To the South West nestling in the Itchen Valley is Alresford with its well regarded Perins Academy/senior school, Broad Street and picturesque chalk stream scenery.
