House For Sale £1,250,000
A unique timber framed Medieval hall house, dating from the 14th/15th century. Located just off Broad Street in the centre of Alresford, this comfortable family home is Grade II* listed and features the original beams and turned staircase, as well as beautiful working fireplaces. There is a self-contained studio/flat in the basement, with a separate kitchen and private entrance.
The property is approached from Mill Hill, and is conveniently located for the shops and facilities available in Broad Street and the town centre. The front door opens into an entrance hall and dining room, which has a bay window onto Mill Hill. A door from the hall opens into the sitting room, which features a working inglenook fireplace and beamed ceiling. The original stairs in the inner hall lead up to the first floor, and a door leads down to the cellar and studio/flat. An arch opens into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, where there is plenty of space for family dining. Off the inner hall, there is a boot room utility room, cloakroom, and a study which has a door allowing access to the garden.
On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, each having its own en-suite bathroom, and a third, single bedroom. Stairs lead up to the second floor, where there is a fourth bedroom, with a connecting bathroom and large loft storage area, and an attic room, which could be used as an additional bedroom.
There is a pretty courtyard garden to the rear, which has a pergola which has been placed to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, a paved terrace, with a large raised fishpond. The owners have been parking a car in front of the house for many years, although this does not form part of the demise.
Alresford is a beautiful Georgian town known for its variety of independent shops, restaurants and inns located in stunning surroundings on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Attractions include the Watercress steam railway, schools for infant, junior and secondary education, several churches and an active and inclusive community. The cathedral city of Winchester is about 7 miles away and there is easy access to the south coast, the midlands and London via the road network. There is also mainline rail access to London from both Winchester and Alton. Southampton airport is only about half an hour away by car.
