" A superbly presented first floor apartment forming part of a charming period building overlooking beautiful landscaped gardens within flat walking distance of the High Street and public gardens.

Description
Barton End House is believed to originally date back to circa 1860 and is formerly the town Registry Office. Barton End was constructed by well regarded local builders Hollybourne Developments Ltd, including the conversion of this property into four luxury apartments. From the moment you enter there is a lovely feeling of space and grandeur. Located on the first floor the property enjoys beautiful views over the well attended and established gardens that have been frequent winners of Alton In Bloom.

Description 2
The apartment is full of character and charm and retains many of the features inherent of a building of this period, with high ceilings and large windows to most rooms. Internally the property has been sympathetically decorated throughout. The entrance hallway leads to both bedrooms, the luxury bathroom with roll top slipper bath and the spacious, bright and airy sitting room. The kitchen is well appointed with fitted fridge freezer, Neff washing machine and Aga module with gas hob and two electric ovens. Outside there is a garage in a nearby block with a further space for each property, although these are not specifically designated. Further features of this stunning apartment include gas fired central heating and a cellar storage area.
