There is a cloakroom and door to the garden.
On the first floor is a large landing with space for a couple of chairs. The main bedroom is a generous double room with a fireplace. Across the landing is a bathroom that leads to a further bedroom/study, which has a fireplace. The bathroom has a white suite and includes a shower enclosure and a bath. Upstairs, on the second floor are two double attic rooms, both with Velux rooflight windows. One has a small cloakroom, whilst the other has a wash hand basin and built in wardrobe.
Outside, a gate and footpath to the left of the house leads through to the delightful rear garden, where there is a paved seating terrace, flower and shrub borders, a lawn and a path to the rear of the garden, the parking area and double timber car port. The property has a right of access over the driveway, which is owned by the neighbouring property.

A brief historyHellards has been involved in the selling and letting of residential property in Alresford and the surrounding villages since 1988, when Paul Hellard opened for business in East Street, having previously been in business in Winchester. Over this period, the business built up a reputation for local knowledge, trust and reliability and for offering its clients a service tailored to their individual needs. Now that Paul has retired, the business is now run by Gordon Thoday, an estate agent living locally in Alresford, with many years’ of property experience gained with various agencies in Hampshire.
