Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this charming four-bedroom detached family home occupies an enviable position on one of Alton's most sought-after residential roads. Having been cherished by the same family for decades, it now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to create their forever home.
Set back from the road with driveway parking for several vehicles, together with a garage and potential to create additional off-street parking, the property immediately offers a welcoming first impression. A practical entrance porch provides the perfect space for coats, boots and everyday storage before leading into the spacious accommodation beyond.
Inside, the home is full of warmth, character and generous proportions. The elegant dining room enjoys a beautiful bay window overlooking the front garden and features a traditional fireplace, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings and entertaining alike. To the rear, the equally spacious living room centres around a second fireplace and benefits from sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, effortlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months.
The kitchen is well-equipped with an excellent range of storage units and ample space for white goods, while a useful ground floor shower room with WC, conveniently positioned off the kitchen and adjacent to the rear door, provides direct access from the garden. This practical arrangement is especially handy for gardeners, children playing outside or those entertaining outdoors, allowing easy access to toilet and shower facilities without needing to walk through the main living areas.
The first floor offers four genuine double bedrooms, providing flexible accommodation for growing families, guests or those working from home. The principal bedroom benefits from a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom, complemented by a separate family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, the attractive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, creating a wonderful space for children to play, summer entertaining or simply relaxing. Two garden sheds provide excellent additional storage, while the side access from the front to the rear of the property offers further practical space for bicycles, bins and outdoor equipment.
The home also benefits from a large loft providing substantial storage, gas central heating, solar panels supplying both electricity and hot water, triple-glazed windows to the front elevation for enhanced energy efficiency and noise reduction, and double glazing throughout the remainder of the property.
Although beautifully maintained and ready to move into, the property offers exciting scope for sympathetic updating, allowing the next owners to enhance and personalise the accommodation to suit their own lifestyle and taste. Homes of this calibre, offering such generous living space, established gardens and exceptional potential in this highly regarded location, rarely come to the market.
This is more than just a house, it is a home filled with decades of happy memories, now ready for its next chapter.
