3 bed detached house for sale

The Barn, East Street, Alresford SO24

A substantial character property, with generous room sizes and an easy flow to the accommodation, making it ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. The Barn is tastefully decorated and immaculately presented throughout, making it possible for a buyer to move in and unpack on arrival. Unusually for properties in the town centre, The Barn is not listed and has parking for two cars. It has a delightful courtyard garden, with a 'secret' access to East Street, and the town centre, which is just a few minutes' walk away. The property is offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain.

The property is accessed from the driveway, which is shared with the neighbouring house. The front door opens into the welcoming entrance hall, which has wooden flooring. A couple of steps lead up to the sizeable kitchen/breakfast room, which has been recently fitted with a bespoke kitchen, including a matching island unit. Features include an Everhot cooker, a built-in oven, and American-style fridge/freezer, as well as a hand-built dresser unit. There is a wet room off the kitchen, and stairs leading up to the first floor. Off the entrance hall is the study, with a couple of steps down to the spacious dining room, which has French doors to the garden. A wide opening leads through to the comfortable sitting room, which features a wood-burning stove and fitted shelving units. The light and airy garden room has a door to the garden. Beyond the sitting room is a utility/cloakroom, and a hall with a door to the outside.

On the first floor landing, there is a cloakroom and an airing cupboard housing a gas boiler and the hot water cylinder (there is a second gas boiler in the kitchen). The principal bedroom includes a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, with a separate shower and bath. The sizeable second bedroom could double as an upstairs living room. A dressing/laundry area, bathroom and third bedroom complete the first floor accommodation.

There is parking for two cars alongside the wall in the driveway. The charming west-facing garden has been designed to be low-maintenance, with a paved seating area, some raised beds and a water feature. A gate at the end of the garden allows access through to East Street.
