Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A mature detached family house believed to have been built approximately forty years ago, constructed of Michelmersh brick and tile clad elevations under a tiled roof. The accommodation includes a triple aspect drawing room with attractive Adam style fireplace, a separate dining room (ideal for entertaining) and a study. The kitchen/breakfast room has been well fitted with an extensive range of units and integrated appliances and there is a utility room which, in turn, leads to the boot room. To the first floor there is a master bedroom with en suite shower area and separate bathroom, two further double bedrooms, a generous single bedroom (all with fitted wardrobes), and a family bathroom. The property benefits from UPVC double glazed windows and UPVC guttering, soffits and facias, for easy maintenance. We understand that there is also cavity wall insulation and the boiler has been renewed in recent years.
Recent improvements: The kitchen/breakfast room was refitted approximately two years ago with attractive ’Shaker’ style units and both bathrooms have also been refitted.
LOCATION
The property is situated in an exclusive close of just six properties, located on the edge of the village which has a Post Office/Store, primary school, two public houses, church and a nearby garden centre. The area is a haven for those who enjoy country and riverside walks, and numerous sporting pursuits can be enjoyed nearby including horse racing at Newbury and Salisbury, motor racing at Thruxton, sailing on the Solent, and fishing on the celebrated River Test. Andover, approximately three miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country, and the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are both within a half hour drive.
