Property description
Set within its own landscaped plot, a high quality semi-detached house of contemporary character presenting 3 bedroom, en-suite accommodation with exceptional downstairs space in an individual village setting.
Description
Occupying a established village location convenient for the shops and primary school, the property is one of two dissimilar pairs built by Banner Homes in 2009 and features an impressive drawing room, landmark dining kitchen and Anglian orangery addition on the ground floor. Its South Easterly rear aspect and garden backs onto a small tree studded green, being part of the exclusive Minden Place private driveway development. The enclosed frontage contains driveway parking for multiple cars. Characteristics aplenty range from the excellent maple style kitchen furniture and integrated appliances to the white bathware and chrome finished fittings to bath, shower and cloakrooms. There are also oak veneered internal doors with chrome handles, deep moulded skirting boards and architraves, smooth ceilings and low energy downlighting. For comfort and peace of mind, the house has uPVC double glazing incorporating trickle vents and security locks to most of the windows, a gas heating system with all but one of the radiators individually thermostatically controlled, cavity wall insulation, uPVC roofline products and a security alarm system.
Location
Honeycote was originally part of a select small scheme known as The Firs, now Minden Place. The scheme consists of 3 pairs of varying facaded executive semi-detached properties adjoining the green at the rear and the two pairs of dissimilar cottage style semi-detached houses with larger ground floor footprints fronting the road including Honeycote. Four Marks village shops are within 1/3rd of a mile with this thriving Hampshire village also providing a primary school, churches, doctors and vet surgeries, buses plying the A31, a golf course, village hall with associated activities, allotments, a recreational complex and the Mid Hants Steam Railway. Neighbouring Medstead includes a useful small and individual retail park. The surrounding countryside has footpaths, byways and bridleways with a selection of village inns. Alton's High Street, within 4.4 miles drive, affords major shops, stores such as M & S and Sainsbury's, weekly and specialist open air market events and restaurants. The town also has senior schools, Alton Convent School, Alton FE College, station (Waterloo line), a Waitrose and a sports centre. To the South West, Alresford lists broad streets, walks beside the River Arle, and Perins Academy/Senior School among its attributes.
