Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A modern detached family house offering spacious accommodation, believed to have been built in the late 1970s and constructed of colour washed/tiled clad elevations under a tiled roof, with the benefit of UPVC double glazed windows (some leaded) and oil fired central heating with radiators. The property would suit a large family or those perhaps looking for annexe facilities, having four/five reception rooms and four/five bedrooms. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property amounting to approximately one third of an acre which back onto farmland. Within the garden is a large summerhouse with cloakroom, ideal for those perhaps looking for a studio or an external home office.
LOCATION
The property is situated in the heart of the village which borders an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, some two and a half miles to the north of Andover which offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The village has a primary school, public house/restaurant and church and is very well situated for road access, with the A303 about four miles away which leads to the M3 motorway to London and the West Country. The M4 motorway (Junction 13) is within about eighteen miles. Rail travel is available from Andover (Waterloo in about one hour) or also from Whitchurch (within about seven miles). Newbury, fourteen miles distant, provides a mainline station for travel to Paddington.
