" An unrivalled and substantial sized 5 bedroom detached bungalow of individuality with a self contained 2 bedroom detached annexe bungalow within its own 0.84 acre gardens enjoying a Southerly rear aspect in a broad verged village lane.

Description
Eminently suitable for dual occupation or purely for lavish family space, the principal property is believed to date from the 1920s having been substantially extended in 1980 including an informal 4 roomed suite of rooms in the North Westerly wing with the conversion of the detached annexe bungalow happening in 1990. Both properties enjoy lovely natural green views over the sweeping gardens to neighbouring countryside. In addition to the phenomenal space, additional characteristics include several twin aspect rooms, the main reception, kitchen and bedroom accommodation enjoying the southerly outlook, double glazing, solar panels generating power and defraying costs, and a gas heating system with radiators. There are majority coved ceilings and thermostatic valves to the radiators in all the main 4 bedrooms.

Location
Commanding a long broad verged frontage opposite and backing onto open countryside, Bumbles enjoys a main southerly aspect with garden vistas from the accommodation. The property is located in the semi-rural south easterly corner of Medstead, a traditional village providing local shops including a butchers and post office, primary school, St Andrew's Church, a pub, central village green and sports facilities, doctors and dental surgery, local interest societies and footpaths, bridleways and byways over the surrounding rolling countryside. The A31, within 0.75 mile, leads to Alton, Farnham, Guildford and Winchester. Adjacent to Medstead, Four Marks offers alternative more extensive shopping facilities within 1 mile whilst the historic old market town of Alton is within 5.25 miles affording High Street shops, M & S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose stores, station (Waterloo line), senior and Convent schools, an FE College, sports centre, fitness studios and an international cuisine. Alresford to the south west includes walks beside the River Itchen, the splendid Broad Street, and Perins Academy School/Specialist Sports College among its attributes.
