Property description
Occupying an outstanding village setting commanding open country views, a 1959 individual detached chalet bungalow with later additions, a 0.58 acre plot and the need for completion of conversion works or re-design.
Description
Deceptive sized Mysts of Tyme is being sold for the first time having been built by our vendor client's family and subsequently been the subject of an annexe extension to the rear and conversion of the main loft. There are marvellous views to the rear over the property's own garden and paddock to undulating open farmland beyond, as well as vistas over paddocks opposite. Whilst closer inspection of the accompanying professional floorplans or an appointment to view is advised, the property has great potential for further alteration and possible incorporation of the annexe in the main accommodation subject to any necessary planning and building consents. The main ground floor accommodation features exposed floorboards, whilst heating is via a mains gas system with radiators, the majority of which incorporate thermostatic valves. There is aluminium or wood framed double glazing unless stated otherwise. Sanitaryware is in a white. A particular facet of the property is the splendid room on the first floor, a studio main bedroom, which enjoys some of the best views.
Location
Enjoying a gently elevated frontage, Mysts of Tyme lies on the edge of the North Downs in the delightful, picturesque and traditional Hampshire village of Lower Froyle midway between the country towns of Alton and Farnham, both within 5.25 miles. The village has the highly rated Anchor Inn, a pond, Conservation Area, village hall and recreational area with an active social calendar, whilst Upper Froyle has the parish church. Neighbouring Bentley has the nationally high-ranking local primary school, general stores and Post Office, and station on the Alton - Waterloo line. There are footpaths, bridleways and byways in the area. In addition to Lord Wandsworth College, there are several co-educational preparatory schools. Blacknest golf course and Alice Holt Forest with its walks are two further attractions in the neighbourhood. Alton and Farnham list Georgian influenced shopping centres, a choice of stores, senior schools, colleges/University and sports centres amongst their facilities. The dual carriageway A31 allows access to Guildford in the East and Winchester in the West also with direct linkage to the national motorway network.
