5 bed detached house for sale

Curtis Road, Alton GU34

A spacious and well-appointed detached family house of traditional design standing in Ashdell Park within about 3/4 of a mile of the High Street and mainline station. This is a very well-designed and energy efficient family home with a level B (86) energy rating. The property has the benefit of uPVC double glazed windows, cavity wall insulation, solar panels and battery (for electricity storage).

The well-appointed and generous accommodation is set off a large entrance hall and includes a spacious sitting room with connecting doors to the open plan kitchen/dining room. The flexible accommodation also includes a study/home office with two desk spaces, ample power sockets and storage. The living accommodation is complemented by a kitchen/dining room (extending to 28'3/8.6m) with French doors opening directly out to the rear garden and terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets, textured granite work surfaces and breakfast bar together with a four-ring gas hob with extractor over and electric double oven. The utility room adjoins the kitchen and has the benefit of external doors to the front and rear. There are a further 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom set around a spacious landing to the first floor including a principal bedroom complete with a stylish modern en suite shower room. Of note, the flexibility of the house has been enhanced to the ground floor with the creation of a 2nd sitting room/sun room/5th bedroom (with bi-folding doors opening out to the rear garden and underfloor heating to this room) together with the careful conversion and re-construction of part of the original garage and of the utility room to create a ground floor shower room and modern utility room. These spaces can be used separately to suit multi-generational living (if needed) with independent access to the front driveway and rear garden.

Outside

The house stands within an attractive landscaped garden with views over Ashdell Park and the town beyond from the first floor. The grounds provide a beautiful setting with areas of level lawn, flower and shrub borders and a mature hedging. A paved terrace adjoins the kitchen/dining room and provides an ideal area for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. There is also an area of decking providing an additional outside seating area (adjoining the 2nd sitting room/5th bedroom). A passage to the side can be used for access and storage. A private driveway provides ample parking for 4/5 cars (together with a vehicle charging point) and access to a small garage/store.

Situation

The house occupies one of the most sought after locations in Alton, with views over the town, yet only about three quarters of a mile from the mainline railway station to London Waterloo and High Street. The historic market town of Alton has a good range of High Street shops, Waitrose, M&S Simply Food, weekly and specialist markets, schooling for all age groups. Alton also has a sports centre, two outlying golf courses and a mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for a number of country pursuits.
