Property description
An advantageously located and well presented semi-detached chalet style house offering 3 bedrooms, 2 open plan reception rooms, a long drive and garage, and a South Easterly facing rear garden favourably set in a residential location above the water meadows.
Description
Built in the 1970s by Wimpey Homes, the house has been carefully improved during recent years for the present owners including attractive subtle decorations, a handsome refitted kitchen and bathroom, a new boiler and panelled internal doors with brushed chrome finished handles. There is also the benefit of uPVC double glazing incorporating fanlights and security locks to the windows, and a gas heating system with all bedroom radiators being independently controlled. The design allows maximum use of space throughout the accommodation which has a light and airy atmosphere with views at the rear across the town towards rolling countryside beyond.
Location
The property is set back from this broad road. It is gently elevated on a Southerly facing site opposite a cul-de-sac within 0.8 mile drive of the High Street (less on foot via a scenic path by the Wey stream). Greenfields Avenue is a well regarded residential road dating from the 1960's-1970's era with the neighbourhood providing local shops in Southview Rise, bus services, St Lawrence Primary and Amery Hill Senior Schools, Alton College, a real ale pub, St Lawrence Church and walks through the water meadows and to open countryside. The historic town retains weekly and farmers market events and has family and multiple shops, stores such as Waitrose, Sainsbury's, M & S, Iceland, Boots, Wickes and Aldi, and a station (Waterloo line). Alton also has a sports centre, further churches, private fitness clubs and on the outskirts, 2 golf courses.
