" Set within its own lovely level gardens, an individual detached house notable for its privacy, standard of presentation, sense of space, versatile 3/4 double bedroom accommodation and garden vistas.

Description
This carefully presented and maintained family home originated in 1962 and has been enlarged and replanned since 2001 with the distinct advantage of a South Westerly rear aspect and a layout enabling independent access to all the rooms except the utility room and obviously the en-suite bathroom, from the light and airy reception hall or landing. The arrangement also allows for open plan living and great flexibility, eg the dining room/2nd bedroom and downstairs bathroom give the option of a ground floor suite for an elderly relative or other family member. Primary characteristics include uPVC double glazing and roofline products with security window locks and fanlight top openers, white panelled internal doors with brass finished handles, smooth finished ceilings and a gas heating system with thermostatically controlled radiators.

Location
Woodpeckers is naturally screened and set back within its own lovely gardens behind a broad verged road in the Red Hill area of Medstead, diagonally opposite Chawton Park Wood with its rides and footpaths. Enjoying a semi-rural yet accessible location, the immediate neighbourhood has a mixture of individual detached properties of varying ages, sizes and styles, together with several more recent developments lying between Medstead and Four Marks villages. Four Marks shopping centre with its Tesco Express, M&S garage outlet and Co-op mini store, is within 0.5 mile, whilst the old market town of Alton has a high street within a 4.5 mile drive. The traditional village of Medstead includes the Handy Store, Medstead Hardware/Post Office, a primary school, St Andrew's Church, The Castle of Comfort Inn, a village green with associated activities such as cricket, tennis, bowls and amateur dramatics, a gardeners club and an invaluable mini retail square at Lymington Barns along with the Mansfield Park doctors surgery. Alton lists diverse shops, stores such as M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury's, a station (Waterloo line), senior schools, Alton Convent, Alton FE College and a sports centre among its attributes. There are also bridleways, byways and golf courses in the area. Alresford to the South West includes Perins Academy/Senior School, an annual agricultural show and Watercress Festival, and a landmark Broad Street.
