A detached house that has recently been extended and completely modernised by the present owner to an extremely high standard with tasteful finishes. New air source heating has been installed with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators upstairs. The flooring is all oak, porcelain tiles or luxury carpeting. Panelling and feature walls have been installed into almost every room and the whole house has been redecorated using Farrow and Ball. The accommodation includes a large central hall and cloakroom, sitting room with a new log burning stove and media recess above, separate study and a large living/dining area which opens into a substantial new kitchen/breakfast room with island and lantern roof area. This main living zone has two sets of folding glazed doors to the rear terrace and garden. The original kitchen now provides a spacious utility/boot room. On the first floor the large main bedroom has an excellent en suite. There are three further double bedrooms, all with built-in storage, and family bathroom. The property is set back from the road with extensive parking and single garage to the front. The well enclosed wrap round rear garden enjoys privacy and has been professionally landscaped with extensive terrace, decked areas and fire pit.
The property is situated off a private drive serving just two other properties just off Ox Drove, a country lane on the outskirts of Picket Piece, a semi-rural area on the eastern outskirts of Andover and within a short distance of 24 hr supermarkets and a good selection of out-of-town stores. The area benefits from a village hall, the popular Finkley Down Farm complex, a Commercial Centre with garden centre and Post Office as well as the Wyke Down pub (all within a short walk) and a bus service. Andover offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational, medical and leisure facilities, including a newly constructed Leisure Centre as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo in just over the hour. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the renowned River Test, is approximately 9 miles away. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within 30 minutes’ drive, as is Basingstoke.
Agent’s Note: The property is situated within 1.5 mile of the North Wessex Downs, an extensive and stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing excellent walking and cycling and a great choice of pubs and restaurants.
