Tower Street, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 1NS

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.

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.

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.
