4 bed detached house for sale

Wilsom Road, Alton GU34

A Seven Minute Walk To The Station Means You’ve More Time To Enjoy Your Idyllic New Home. Set on an almost quarter acre plot, with apple trees, raspberries and roses. And just a four minute stroll to Kings Pond and fifteen to the Georgian High Street.

It’s the sort of place where you can get into London for a morning meeting and still be home in time to pick raspberries for desert. Where weekend mornings start with coffee in the peaceful garden and end with a walk around Kings Pond or a browse on the picture postcard Georgian High Street.

The kitchen-diner is the heart of the home – bright, welcoming and perfect for everything from weekday breakfasts to Saturday night suppers. It was updated around seven years ago, and the peninsula breakfast bar is just right for casual chats while someone’s cooking. Patio doors lead straight outside, so the garden really feels like part of the living space.

The sitting room is generous and light, while the front reception rooms enjoy the best of the sunset. There’s also a separate study and a fourth double bedroom downstairs – once the original master bedroom – complete with fitted cupboards and shelving.

There are three more bedrooms upstairs, all with Velux windows and extensive eaves storage. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and an ensuite with both bath and separate shower - added during the loft conversion when the roof was also replaced.

The loft is boarded, insulated and ideal for extra storage. There’s also a family bathroom upstairs and a handy cloakroom-utility on the ground floor.

Outside, the peaceful gardens are a real highlight, with something to enjoy in every season. Spring brings cherry and apple blossom, summer offers raspberries by the greenhouse, and there’s a shady willow, a plum tree, and a rose on the boundary wall grown from a cutting in the owner’s great-grandfather’s garden.

The greenhouse, shed, and playhouse will all stay, giving space for hobbies and family fun.

Parking is easy with space for two cars on the drive, one more on the grass and an integrated garage with power, lighting, and room for a freezer and bikes.

An EV car charger can be included, subject to negotiation.

The property is only a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute drive from the High Street, with the journey to Waitrose and the station taking roughly half the time.

Alton is a thriving market town with a great selection of independent shops on its bustling High Street, along with big name stores like M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Aldi & Lidl.

If you’re looking for a greater choice of shops or places to eat, being close to the A31 means you can drive to Guildford or Winchester in just over half an hour.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding.

And if you’re heading further afield, there are direct trains from Alton to Waterloo - the journey taking just over an hour.

The local primary schools are all rated “Good” by Ofsted - Alton Infant School is the closest, only a 3 minute drive or an 8 minute walk away.

Older kids have a choice of Eggar's School or Amery Hill School - rated “Outstanding” and “Good” respectively.

With space to live comfortably, a garden to enjoy in every season, and a location that keeps everything within easy reach, this is a home that gives you more time to enjoy the things you love.
