Property description
CHAIN-FREE Occupying a 0.42 acre plot, an established 3 double bedroom detached bungalow carefully improved during the last five years in a semi-rural setting opposite Alton Golf Course yet within 2 miles of the town's High Street. Double garage & outbuildings.
Description
The property has both scale and character, evidenced by its part vaulted and beamed drawing room, which together with the newly created dining kitchen and conservatory open directly onto the sun terrace and gardens at the rear. Additionally, there is replacement double glazing to the windows, external doors and conservatory. An added attraction to this double gable fronted single storey property is the double garage together with a range of outbuildings and 2 gates to the neighbouring unmade lane, thus giving the option of a caravan space. There is a gas heating system with a replacement boiler and the majority of the radiators incorporating individual thermostatic valves, Karndean oak style flooring as mentioned below, and majority panelled internal doors. All 3 double bedrooms benefit from built-in cupboards.
Location
The bungalow is gently elevated above the road and naturally screened by a hedge with the grounds extending to the Eastern side. Lying within the parish of Shalden village, the property lies on the country fringes in an area of mainly detached individual homes in large gardens and is strategically placed for access to not only the historic old market town of Alton with its station (Waterloo line), but also road routes to the North leading to the M3 junction 5, Basingstoke, Reading and the Thames Valley. Alton includes varied shops with Waitrose, Sainsbury's, M & S and Aldi stores, a weekly open air market, primary and senior schools, Alton Convent, Alton College and a sports centre among its attributes. The surrounding North Downs countryside presents footpaths, byways and bridleways, village inns, Lord Wandsworth College and gliding at Lasham.
