" Substantially extended at the rear to provide impressive family accommodation and an ensuite, a Bryants built 4 bedroom detached house occupying a cul-de-sac location in the favoured Saxon Meadows area near open countryside, yet within 0.6 mile drive of the High Street - less on foot.


Featuring a double height bay, the property was built in the late 1980's by well regarded developers, Bryant Homes, and has been extended during our vendor clients 13-14 years tenure to create a home eminently akin to family living. The house affords a superb dining kitchen with a range cooker, an adjacent family room and utility room, and upstairs, a master bedroom with an en suite shower room. Enjoying a westerly rear aspect, the property notably has double glazing with security window locks, panelled internal doors with contemporary chrome finished handles, smooth finished ceilings to the majority of the rooms, and a gas heating system with radiators.


Fontwell Drive lies in the sought after position within the 'Racecourse' area of Alton and consists of 24 detached houses of varying designs and sizes culminating in a green. Adjacent Windmill Hill provides country walks with an intricate network of footpaths in the vicinity leading to not only the town centre but also other parts of Alton also creating a shorter walk to Alton's main shops. The south west corner of Alton also has The Butts, an historic green, The Butts Primary School, Alton Sports Centre, Chawton Park Doctors Surgery, The French Horn Inn and the Watercress Steam Railway Line. Alton retains weekly and specialist open air markets and contains individual and major shops such as Sainsbury's, M & S, Boots and Iceland, senior schools, Alton Convent School, Alton College, a station (Waterloo line) with an adjacent Waitrose store, fitness clubs and, on the outskirts, two golf clubs including the 18-hole Worldham course.
