Property description
CHAIN-FREE SALE An attractively positioned semi-detached chalet style house combining 3 bedroom accommodation with a southerly facing rear garden, generous driveway/parking and a garage set in a frequently requested residential location above the water meadows.
Description
Built in the 1970s by Wimpey Homes, the property has been carefully improved during recent years for the present owners including replacement double glazing installed in 2013, a stylishly refitted bathroom in contemporary white and a new condensing gas boiler. The design allows maximum space in the reception rooms. The light and airy atmosphere is complemented by a gas heating system with radiators and thermostatic valves to all the bedrooms.

The property is angled and set back from this broad road. It is gently elevated on a southerly facing site diagonally opposite a cul-de-sac within 0.8 mile drive of the High Street (less on foot via a scenic path by the Wey stream).

The historic town retains weekly and farmers market events and has family and multiple shops, stores such as Waitrose, Sainsbury's, M & S, Iceland and Boots, and a station (Waterloo line). Alton also has a sports centre, further churches, private fitness clubs and on the outskirts, a retail park and 2 golf courses.
