Property description
Noteworthy for its excellent layout, open outlook and absence of any onward chain, a well presented 2 double bedroom modern terraced house in the popular Greenfields area strategically placed for the water meadows, rolling countryside and road routes.
Description
The penultimate home in a staggered and stepped terrace of six houses built in about 1970 by George Wimpey, the property enjoys a light and airy atmosphere being in a gently elevated location with several views across the town and glimpses of partly wooded countryside. Benefits include a maple effect fitted kitchen, double glazing, majority coved ceilings, pine skirting boards and architraves, white sanitaryware in the bathroom, and pine panelled doors upstairs with brass finished handles. Heating is via a gas system with radiators.
Location
The property occupies a prominent residential location amongst other mainly 2, 3 and 4 bedroom privately built homes with walks through the water meadows to the town centre via Willoughby Close opposite and with the countryside of the North Downs directly beyond neighbouring Thorpe Gardens. The B3349 New Odiham Road allows access to the M3 Junction 5, whilst the neighbourhood also includes a general store on Southview Rise, bus services, Amery Hill Senior School and Alton College. Alton's Georgian influenced High Street, within 0.9 mile, leads to varied shops, open air weekly and specialist markets, stores such as Sainsbury's, M & S, Boots and Iceland, churches, a fitness club, a library, and restaurants and inns. The town, an award winner for its 'In Bloom' entry, also provides a station (Waterloo line), a Waitrose store, primary schools, a sports centre, and two golf courses on the outskirts.
