4 bed detached house for sale

Western Road, Andover SP10

Available to the property market for the first time in half a century, and with No Onward Chain, this imposing, four-bedroomed, detached house of 1930s construction has a unique layout and benefits from an excellent location with proximity to both Andover's mainline railway station and town centre facilities. The property offers scope for modernisation with the opportunity to blend in the period character that is apparent throughout. The accommodation comprises a ground floor with a traditional entrance hallway, a living room and a separate dining room, both of good size, a kitchen, a utility room, a butler's pantry which has the potential to become a separate study if desired, a rear entrance lobby and a cloakroom. The first floor includes four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Outside, the property is surrounded by mature gardens with a gated driveway leading to parking at the front of a double garage.

The pedestrian access via Western Road follows a path that meanders through mature shrubbery to an arched wrought-iron gate that opens into the garden at the rear of the property, hidden behind a high brick wall. Paths then lead to both front and rear entrances plus a courtyard-style garden located to the rear, as well as a greenhouse to one side of the double garage with a lawn framed by mature hedging and borders alongside the gated driveway.

The entrance hallway, light and airy with high ceiling height, gives an immediate hint at the character of the property. The two reception rooms are located either side of the entrance hallway, both of good-size and both of dual aspect with bay windows and original picture rails. Alongside the dining room is the butler's pantry with then the kitchen, both having windows to one side of the property. Beyond the kitchen, a small hallway leads to the rear entrance lobby and provides access to the utility room and the cloakroom. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms along with a good-sized single, each unique in character and aspect plus the family bathroom and separate WC.

Andover offers a range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, including a college of further education, a cinema, a theatre and a leisure centre, as well as numerous nearby notable tourist attractions. The mainline railway station is just half a mile from the property and runs a direct route to London's Waterloo in just over an hour, whilst the nearby A303 offers good road access to both London and the West Country. The property itself fronts onto Western Road, just east of the junction of the start of Weyhill Road and Salisbury Road with Andover's High Street, less than half a mile away. The property has pedestrian access via a gated path from Western Road with vehicular access from Blue Hayes Close, which is also accessed via Western Road.
