5 bed town house for sale

The Soke, Broad Street, Alresford SO24

A charming Grade II listed townhouse dating from the 16th Century, Soke House is one of the oldest and most interesting houses in Alresford, having survived the great fires that destroyed much of the rest of the town. Originally built as two properties, this spacious house is spread over three floors and includes a cellar and large storage room. Period details feature throughout and include oak beams and original fireplaces. The property is conveniently located just off Broad Street in the centre of the town, and has a delightful and tranquil garden, with a rear gate allowing access to a path over the nearby millstream.

The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom, stairs to the first floor and a door and stairs going down to the cellar. Off the hall is the kitchen, which features a bespoke range of kitchen units and worktops, with integrated appliances. A door opens to the dining room, which has a door to the garden. An opening leads to the charming sitting room, which features oak beams and a wood-burning stove.

There is a generously proportioned landing on the first floor, with a delightful fireplace and bathroom. There are two double bedrooms, one of which has built-in wardrobes, and a study, which could double as another bedroom. A further staircase leads up to the second floor, where there is a shower room and double bedroom off the landing. The large main bedroom includes a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a lovely view of the town and fields beyond.

To the rear of the house is the pretty garden, with a seating area and a path that stretches down across the lawn to a greenhouse and gate at the end. In addition, the property benefits from two parking spaces are owned on long leases and are located to the rear of No. 46 Broad Street, a few minutes' walk away.
