Property description
CHAIN-FREE SALE Presenting 4 double bedrooms (3 en-suite) and 2 finely proportioned reception rooms, a New England barn style house in a private village setting of just five individually crafted homes.
Description
Architect designed and built in 2005/6 by high quality developers, Lacey Simmons of Woking, the property stands in the far right hand corner of a broad L-shaped landscaped courtyard and has, for the present owners, been sympathetically enlarged to the ground floor and cleverly altered internally to maximise the comfort and space also taking advantage of the Southerly aspect to the rear.
Location
The property nestles in the far corner of this striking small development of 27 houses of varying detached and cottage designs, one of which won an important media award upon construction. Friars Oak is located in the semi-rural South Easterly corner of Medstead, a traditional village providing local shops including a butchers, Handy Store and greengrocers, primary school, St Andrew\‘s Church, the Castle of Comfort pub, central village green and sports facilities, doctors and dental surgeries, local interest societies, and footpaths, bridleways and byways over the surrounding rolling countryside. Chawton Park Wood with its broad \‘rides\‘ is within 0.35 mile. The A31 at Four Marks leads to Alton, Farnham, Guildford and Winchester.
Location 2
The adjacent village of Four Marks offers alternative facilities including a shopping complex and M&S outlet within 0.75 mile, whilst Jane Austen\‘s town of Alton is within 4.5 miles providing High Street shops, stores including Waitrose, M&S Foodhall and Sainsbury\‘s, a station (Waterloo line), senior and Convent schools, an FE college, sports centre, fitness studios and cultural facilities. Alresford to the South West lists riverside walks, a Broad Street, Perins academy school/sports college, and a Watercress Festival and Agricultural Show among its attributes. There are also golf courses in the area.
