4 bed detached house for sale

Hardacre, Cheriton, Alresford SO24

Nestled in the highly sought-after village of Cheriton, this extended four-bedroom detached home, built around 40 years ago, is available for the first time since its construction and offered for sale with no onward chain. This property has been a cherished family home, with its owners lovingly maintaining both the house and gardens over the years.

The large porch opens into the particularly generous entrance hall, featuring original parquet flooring, immediately giving a sense of spaciousness. The ground floor has been thoughtfully extended to create a beautiful, light-filled kitchen/dining/family room, complete with double doors opening to the rear garden and a convenient utility room. The sitting room has also been extended, boasting a charming reading or birdwatching nook in the bay window, and offers pleasant views over the front gardens. A good-sized, dual-aspect study and a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is dual aspect and benefits from an en-suite shower room. There are three additional bedrooms and a large family bathroom, providing ample space for a growing family.

Outside, the rear garden features a paved courtyard design, beautifully landscaped with a greenhouse, summerhouse, and pergola – perfect for relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months. To the front, the picturesque garden is enclosed by mature hedges, and the serene River Itchen gently flows through the end of the garden, framed by aquatic plants and crossed by a charming wooden bridge.

The gravelled driveway provides parking for several cars, and there is a larger-than-average single garage.
