About this home
A charming and highly individual detached period home, believed to date from before 1900, situated in the sought-after Tower Street area of Alton.
Full of character and offering a wealth of original features, the property provides two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cellar and a generous reception space with fireplace. The substantial reception room offers excellent flexibility and, subject to the necessary consents, could potentially be reconfigured to create a third bedroom, dining room or additional living space, making this an exceptionally versatile home with scope to provide three-bedroom accommodation.
One of the property's most unusual and appealing features is the Shepherd’s Hut within the garden, which has been thoughtfully fitted with its own bathroom, kitchenette and space for a bed. This provides an excellent additional area for guests, older children, home working or hobbies and offers useful potential as third-bedroom or guest accommodation. The property also benefits from a useful cellar and a substantial workshop/hobby room, providing ample storage and practical space for those looking for somewhere to pursue DIY, creative projects or other interests.
Outside, the property enjoys a generous plot rarely associated with such a convenient town location, with a substantial driveway providing parking for three cars. The large garden combines patio and lawned areas with established planting, creating a private and attractive setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The detached workshop and additional Shepherd’s Hut further enhance the garden's versatility, while the overall plot offers considerable potential for those wishing to make the most of the outside space.
Tower Street is a desirable and established residential road close to the centre of Alton, offering a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently positioned for the town's amenities. Alton itself is a historic market town surrounded by attractive Hampshire countryside and benefits from a good range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and everyday facilities. The town also has a mainline railway station with services towards London Waterloo, making it particularly attractive to commuters, while the surrounding South Downs countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful detached home with generous parking, a large garden and unusually versatile additional accommodation in such a well-connected Alton location.
