Welcome to this charming 4 bedroom family home centrally located in the village of Alderholt.

If you are looking for a spacious family home then this early 1900s detached house offers a wonderful opportunity for you to own a property in this highly sought after village.

Originally an Edwardian cottage, this property has been in the same ownership for the last 39 years, and in that time has been modernised and extended, whilst maintaining its inherent character and charm.

This home is tastefully decorated throughout, has gas central heating and electricity use is moderated by having a number of wholly owned solar panels on the roof.

Enjoying a sunny, south west facing garden, ideal for al fresco summer dining, you can enjoy your Pimms on the patio overlooking the well planted and mature gardens, which have been lovingly tended by the current owners. At the back of the house is a productive vegetable garden and, of course, a garden shed. At the front and side are further quiet mature garden areas in which to relax.

The kitchen is designed for ease of use, and well presented with oak fronted floor and wall cabinets, granite worktops and a built in Bosch electric double oven and gas hob, extractor hood, and space for the dishwasher and fridge freezer.

To the side of the kitchen, the back door lobby leads to the cloakroom and through to a fitted utility room. The utility room has a large built in cupboard, space for a 2nd fridge freezer, worktop, sink and space below for the washing machine and dryer.

The large, light living room has windows to the front and west side, and is a cosy retreat, with a woodburning stove.

Off the living room is the sun room currently used as a study which is light and bright with access through French doors to the garden.

The dining room is a calm space, with room for a large dining table, ideal for family gatherings.

Stairs lead to a light and airy landing, with space to create a study nook or a quiet space to read.

The double aspect master bedroom is expansive and has been transfigured as an independent young adults retreat, with a small kitchenette and sizeable living and study areas. Adjacent is a private shower room with WC and handbasin.

To the front are 2 large double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and cupboards, and ample space. To the side is the bright 4th bedroom, a single, with fitted cupboards and wardrobe.

The main bathroom was refurbished approx. 10 years ago. With a 3 piece suite and subtle tiling, the large airing cupboard ensures this is a warm and welcoming space.

The double garage is large enough to fit 2 cars. It is partly shelved with doors to the utility room and to the garden. In front of the garage is a gravelled drive, large enough to park several cars easily.
