House For Sale £1,550,000
DESCRIPTION
A large and attractive double fronted detached 1920s house with brick elevation beneath a slate roof standing in a private two acre plot with mature surrounding gardens and a paddock with recently built stable block.

The property has been significantly improved in recent years by the present owners, using professional local trades people, the house has been fully re-wired and re-plumbed, there is a new submerged LPG tank and boiler delivering underfloor heating to the ground floor and to the first floor by radiators, the insulation has been dramatically improved and all of the windows have been replaced with double glazed hard wood casements apart from two ground floor windows and the porch.

On the first floor there are five double bedrooms (three en suite) and a well fitted family bathroom.

The property is situated adjoining countryside in the picturesque hamlet of East Cholderton located between the villages of Thruxton and Amport (both of which have a primary school and public house – Amport C of E Primary is one of the highest rated in the country and Farleigh School is within a short drive), and is within convenient reach of the A303 which allows easy access to London and the West Country. The White Horse public house in Thruxton is within a short walk of the property and there are also many delightful walks nearby amongst the water meadows, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Andover offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, and there are mainline railway stations in both the town and the nearby village of Grateley (both providing fast services to Waterloo).
