Fantails, Alton £395,000

Consisting of mainly well spaced out semi-detached homes, Fantails adjoins Gilbert White Way which is towards Alton’s northern outskirts and downland countryside. A network of footpaths lead to local facilities such as Wooteys Infant and Junior Schools, HSDC Alton College, Alton School, shops on Wooteys Way and Southview Rise, takeaways and a Tesco Express, as well as into open countryside. To the north is Alton Golf Course with the B3349 leading to the M3 junction 5 and the Thames Valley beyond. Steeped in history and market town traditions, Alton has commuter trains to Waterloo (station within 1mile), individual and multiple shops, Aldi, M&S, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose stores, restaurants, inns and hotels, churches of several denominations, a museum and gallery, a leisure centre and busy schedule of local events.

Originally built in the early 70s and still in the ownership of the original family, this property has been well looked after and indeed extended. However, we believe that a new owner may well choose to carry out a gentle modernisation programme which may well include a refitment of the kitchen and sanitaryware. Furthermore, there is probably scope to incorporate the rear family room/dining room into what would be a spectacular kitchen/family/living room. The property benefits from double glazing and has gas central heating.
