This Arts & Crafts house was built approximately 125 years ago
by the Crosse family (of Crosse & Blackwell) and divided in the
1970‘s. We are delighted to bring to the market this beautiful,
family home. Situated in the desirable Albany Road, this property
is in close proximity to Fleet town centre, Fleet mainline train
station, several schools and multiple woodland areas. The home is
spread over three floors and there are four bedrooms and two
bathrooms. The plot is a good size which enables a sizeable
driveway and garden.
The property creates a welcoming impression upon entering the
house. The spacious and elegant entrance hall gives access to the
main reception rooms and naturally leads onto the superb kitchen
breakfast room which is of impeccable design. There are a full
range of kitchen cabinets plus a breakfast area, all of which are
complimented by attractive wood flooring. The kitchen leads into an
impressive conservatory which has oak flooring, under floor heating
and doors which open onto the rear garden.
The heart of the home is the impressive living room, with half
wood panelled walls and a magnificent Inglenook fireplace which has
a central stone chimney breast with windows either side.
The dining room is beautiful; its size lends itself perfectly
for entertaining and can accommodate a large family table. This
delightful room also has a beamed ceiling, half wood panelled walls
and a lovely built in storage cupboard. A cloakroom and utility
area complete the ground floor accommodation.
The upstairs accommodation is as equally impressive as the
ground floor and is laid out over two floors. The first floor
features a large double bedroom with views over the rear garden.
The bedroom area itself is spacious and has a separate dressing
area with built in wardrobes and cupboard space. There is a further
bedroom on the first floor with access to an eaves room which could
be used as a guest bedroom or occasional room. There is a luxury
bathroom which incorporates a stylish bath, a separate shower, a
heated mirror, and heated flooring.
Stairs from the first floor lead to bedrooms three and four;
both are spacious with views over the garden. A shower room
completes the accommodation to the second floor.
The property is approached via an attractive driveway which
provides off road parking for numerous vehicles. There is a garage
which has the additional benefits of power and lighting and a side
door which gives access to the conservatory. The gardens are an
absolute delight as they enjoy a southerly aspect and are well
stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs and trees. To the side
of the house is a large terrace that provides the ideal location
for relaxation or summer dining. The large expanse of lawn is
enclosed on all sides creating a high level of seclusion and
privacy.
Albany Road benefits from easy access to Oakley Park, Velmead
Woods and Basingstoke Canal where you can enjoy long walks, bike
rides, fishing and take in breath taking views. It is a short
distance from Fleet Town Centre, the Hart Leisure Centre, and Fleet
Railway Station (taking you into London Waterloo within 45-60mins).
There are several schools within close proximity, including Fleet
Infant School, Velmead Junior School, Heatherside Infant and Junior
School, and Courtmoor Secondary School.
Fleet has excellent commuter links by both rail and road. There
are regular trains to London Waterloo and the town is located off
Junction 4a of the M3 motorway which links to the M25. Fleet town
centre offers comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities,
schools for all age groups, churches of various denominations and
various health care services.
