Yew Tree Close, Goodworth Clatford, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

An extended family house providing excellent family accommodation including five bedrooms and featuring a large open plan kitchen that opens into a modern garden room in a quiet tucked away position with westerly facing garden overlooking paddock

A modern detached house set back from the road and linked on either side by garaging, constructed of brick beneath a tiled roof and recently upgraded with new double glazed windows and doors. The property features a newly installed kitchen and breakfast room with adjoining dining and sitting area which connect through to a garden room with a lantern roof, underfloor heating and folding doors to a west facing garden that is level and attractively landscaped, backing onto paddock. A modern glazed circular dining pod offers rotating views and most recently the owners have installed a new well appointed ground floor shower room. The remaining accommodation includes a living room, reception hall and an inner hall connecting to the garage and workshop. The first floor provides five bedrooms and a bathroom in need of modernisation, with scope to create an adjacent en suite shower room to the largest bedroom. Parts of the house have been left for re decoration to allow the new owners to personalise and finish the property.

The property is situated in the sought-after village of Goodworth Clatford, with its renowned riverside walks. The village has a Post Office/ store, church, C of E primary school (rated Outstanding), village hall, two public houses and an active tennis club.

There is also an 18 hole golf course and large garden centre nearby, as well as the renowned Longstock Water Gardens (owned by the John Lewis Partnership) with its farm shop and tea rooms. Andover, about two miles distant, offers a more comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo in just over the hour. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the celebrated River Test, is approximately five miles away. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within 30 minutes’ drive as is Basingstoke
