" A finely proportioned and unique first floor 2 double bedroom conversion apartment with its own ground floor entrance, cellar, loft and rear garden in a much favoured 'access only' road. No onward chain.


Retaining characteristics and the splendour of its late Victorian origins, the property occupies the whole of the first floor of a former semi-detached villa. There are 9' (2.74m) high ceilings to the drawing/dining room and main bedroom, several sash windows, fireplaces, exposed floorboards and picture rails, and traditional recessed panelled internal doors with china style handles, tall skirting boards and moulded architraves. The accommodation is centred upon an impressive part galleried hall and has both a gas heating system with the majority of the radiators incorporating thermostatic valves, and part double glazing.


Ackender Road lies immediately to the west of Alton's historic town centre, the High Street being within 0.25 mile, and consists of mainly Victorian and Edwardian properties of varying designs, sizes and appearances. The neighbourhood has a network of footpaths, the Water Meadows, All Saints Church, Westbrooke Gardens and access to major routes including the M3 via the B3349 Odiham Road. Maintaining its historic connections with the English Civil War, Jane Austen and hop cultivation, Alton has High Street shops and stores such as M&S, Sainsbury's, Boots and Iceland (further stores in prospect), a station (London Waterloo line) and Waitrose store nearby, weekly and specialist open air market events, further churches, cultural facilities (The Curtis Museum and Allen Gallery), primary and senior schools, Alton Convent, Alton College, a library, fitness clubs, a sports centre and two golf courses on the outskirts.
