Micheldever Road, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A most attractive and characterful detached family house with home office, garden room, gazebo, gym and garage all beautifully presented and well maintained standing in private landscaped gardens in a rural setting yet within walking distance of the town.

An extremely well presented and generously proportioned family house with four double bedrooms and a range of reception rooms together with a separate self contained home office or consulting room and large secluded mature landscaped gardens with a choice of terraces and dining areas including a high quality garden studio and circular gazebo. Additionally, there is a garage/workshop and adjoining games room or gym.

Micheldever Road joins London Street near the centre of Andover and then runs 1.2 km east with farmland to either side. At this point the road reduces to a footpath, just before there is access to a drive which leads to Micheldever House and its neighbour. A rural setting yet within easy walking/cycling distance to the town. The market town of Andover offers a good range of shopping and educational facilities including the Museum of the Iron Age, theatre, leisure centre and College of Further Education. There is also Anton Lakes Nature Reserve with its numerous footpaths, the majority of which are accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Fishing is also permitted with day tickets available from the Andover Angling Club. There is a mainline rail station to London (Waterloo) providing a fast service in just over the hour. The A303 gives access to London, via the M3 and West Country. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within 30 minutes drive, as is Basingstoke.
