Property description

Description

Location

The neighbourhood includes Anstey Park with its rugby, sports and associated clubs, Alton Convent and Eggar's schools, a nursery, the Wilson Doctors Practice, a vets and footpaths leading to the rolling North Downs countryside and also the town's business parks. Steeped in English Civil War, Jane Austen and hop growing history, Alton has high street shops, stores such as Waitrose, M&S, Sainsburys, Iceland and Lidl's, a market square, state schools, Alton College, a sports centre and 2 golf courses on the outskirts.
