Property description
Towards the town's favoured Southern outskirts yet within 0.45 mile of the High Street, a good sized end terraced house lending itself to improvement set back with an on-site garage and rear workshop.
Description
Offering undoubted potential, the house was built in 1963 by Cotton Housing Limited and is at the end of a terrace of 4 similar houses with its garage approached by neighbouring Moreland Close. Features include double glazing with a number of tilt and turn windows and several replacement units, a gas heating system with radiators, solar panels and uPVC products to the soffits and facias of the house. There are pleasant views over the gardens to the front and, from bedroom two, seasonally across the Wey Valley to rolling and part wooded countryside.
Location
The house is naturally screened and set back from The Ridgeway, a frequently requested and well regarded residential area with the open countryside of Windmill Hill nearby. There are town and country footpaths in the neighbourhood. The historic old market town of Alton has High Street shops, weekly and specialist open air market events, stores such as Sainsbury's , M & S, Waitrose and Aldi, primary and senior schools, The Convent and Alton College, restaurants and inns, a station (Waterloo line), and on the outskirts, Alton Sports Centre and two golf courses. At the head of the Wey Valley, the town is encompassed by rolling countryside with the local landmarks of Chawton and Selborne revered for their connections with Jane Austen and Gilbert White respectively.
