East Cholderton, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A LARGE DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE AND DOUBLE GARAGE STANDING IN ABOUT HALF AN ACRE OF GARDEN SET WELL BACK FROM THE ROAD IN AN ATTRACTIVE RURAL VILLAGE SETTING

A spacious individual detached family house that was built by the renowned Kings Builders in the 1970s. The property and generous garden have been enjoyed since and this is the first time it has come to the market. The spacious light and airy accommodation offers scope for modernisation and tailored to suit the new owners. There are spacious living and four large double bedrooms as well as a substantial loft that could potentially be converted subject to consent. There is a long driveway, plenty of parking and an excellent double garage with adjoining workshop and store. The property is set well back from the lane with a large front garden, which used to have a tennis court, is screened to the front boundary by an old wall. The wide rear garden has the benefit of a westerly aspect, lawns, seating areas and fruit trees.

The property is situated along a quiet lane within the picturesque hamlet of East Cholderton, located between the villages of Thruxton and Amport (both of which have a primary school and public house), and is within easy reach of the A303 which allows easy access to London and the West Country. The White Horse public house in Thruxton is within a short walk of the property and there are also many delightful walks in the surrounding countryside. The neighbouring village of Weyhill has an excellent Hilliers Garden Centre complex with restaurant, as well as a craft centre, church, garage and Indian restaurant. Andover, some 5 miles distant, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. There are mainline railway stations in both Andover and the nearby village of Grateley (both providing fast services to Waterloo). The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within 30 minutes’ drive. In addition to the local State schools there are a number of reputable Independent schools (Farleigh, Godolphin, St Swithuns) as well as the Grammar schools in Salisbury.
