Property description
CHAIN-FREE Being sold for the first time since new in 2003, a prestigiously located detached house designed to capture the sun from all its principal rooms and nestling in an exclusive mews adjacent to the town centre between St Lawrence Church and the water meadows.
Description
Within a small scheme of just five individually designed houses created by local builders, Natta Country Homes, the property is in an unique and select location within the Alton Conservation area. All three reception rooms, the sun room and the principal two bedrooms line the rear of the house, the Southerly side with the property having the added attraction of owning the adjoining garage. The specification includes white sanitaryware to all three facilities, double glazing including innovative corner windows with window security locks, trickle vents and downstairs fanlights, Classique panelled internal doors with brass finished handles, smooth finished coved ceilings, and integrated appliances in the kitchen. Heating is via a gas system with thermostatic valves to the radiators. The kitchen is semi open plan to the dining room and overlooks the westerly area of the part lawned gardens.
Location
Amberley Mews consists of three individual detached houses and a pair of 'upside down' homes in a block pavioured mews courtyard approached by Amery Hill, a no-through road, and lies opposite the extensive flint walled grounds of St Lawrence Church. This highly sought after neighbourhood lies directly adjacent to the town centre and, in addition to the water meadows and church, has Cut Pound with the Wey stream, Alton Library, the Community Centre, Amery Farm vets practice, Amery Hill Senior School, the Market Square, traditional inns, Alton College, and a museum and gallery. The intricate network of town footpaths also lead to the High Street with its major and individual shops, the station (Waterloo line) with an adjacent Waitrose store, fitness club, restaurants, churches, and Sainsbury's and M & S stores. Steeped in Jane Austen, English Civil War and brewing history, the town retains open air weekly and specialist market events with the outskirts affording not only the sports centre and two golf courses but also country walks.
