Property Details
DESCRIPTION
An attractive detached Grade II Listed period property, constructed of mellow brick/park flint elevations under a tiled roof with leaded windows to the front aspect. The accommodation includes a sitting room with fireplace and a large conservatory overlooking the rear garden with French doors leading onto a paved patio (ideal for ‘al fresco’ eating). To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with white suite.
Agent’s Note: The property requires improvement and offers considerable scope and potential.
(We understand from the vendor that the garage was formerly a shop – for those requiring further accommodation this could be converted into an additional reception room and/or bedroom (subject to the necessary planning consents with Test Valley Borough Council, tel. 01264 368000).
LOCATION
The property is situated in Church Street, within a short walk of the church, in the village of Hurstbourne Tarrant which has a Post Office/store, church, primary school, garage/petrol station and public house. There are bus services to Newbury (about 10½ miles) and Andover (about 6 miles), where a more comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities can be found. Andover also has a mainline railway station providing services to London (Waterloo is approximately one hour), and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London via the M3 and the West Country.
