5 Bedroom Town House for sale in Alresford

5 5 2

A beautifully presented Georgian townhouse with outbuildings and delightful south-facing gardens extending to approximately 0.27 acres. This impressive Grade II listed property occupies a central position within the popular market town of Alresford and has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme, creating an exceptional home. Believed to date from the late 18th Century, the property retains many period features, including bay windows, many with original casement shutters, fireplaces, and elegant, well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings on both the ground and first floors.

The reception hall/library provides an excellent first impression, featuring exposed wooden floorboards and attractive fitted bookshelves. This light-filled reception space leads through to the principal living areas. To the front of the property, the sitting room offers a comfortable and inviting setting, centred around a fireplace and complemented by exposed wooden flooring.

To the rear of the house is the elegant kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a bespoke range of units incorporating cupboards and drawers beneath extensive work surfaces. A substantial central island with breakfast bar forms a striking focal point, while double doors open directly onto the rear terrace and garden. The adjoining dining room also enjoys views over the garden and benefits from double doors leading onto the terrace. The cellar has been converted into an impressive cinema/family room, providing a versatile space for relaxation and entertainment.

The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where the principal bedroom is located. Adjacent to this is a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom, which remains unfinished, offering the next owner the opportunity to complete the space to their own specification. Bedrooms two and three are served by a family bathroom.

On the second floor are bedrooms four and five, together with a further family bathroom. There is also a large open-plan area that lends itself well to use as a home office, games room or additional reception space.

Parking and garaging are accessed via carriage doors to the side of the property, opening onto a driveway that continues to the rear and culminates in a parking area adjacent to the detached brick garage.

Adjoining the rear of the house is a brick and paved terrace, providing an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining within a private walled garden. An opening leads through to the parking area and outbuilding, which has two separate entrances. One provides access to the former forge, with a mezzanine level above, while the second leads to a studio room that connects to the mezzanine area. Beyond the forge a gate leads to a large lawned garden, which enjoys a high degree of privacy, being partially walled. The extensive south-facing lawn offers ample space for recreation and relaxation. 

22 East Street is located in the Georgian market town of Alresford, literally a stone’s throw from the town’s amenities which include a range of shops, public houses and restaurants. The area is renowned for its beautiful countryside with superb rural walks in the area including along the river and into the Itchen Valley. The Cathedral city of Winchester lies approximately 7.5 miles to the west with a wider range of facilities.

There are excellent communications by both road and rail with mainline railway stations at Alton, Winchester and the M3 (Junction 9) being within easy access. Southampton International Airport is approximately 10 miles to the south with many domestic and European destinations.

Schooling in the area is excellent, the preparatory schools of Twyford and Prince’s Mead are within easy reach as is Pilgrims in Winchester. Winchester also offers St Swithun’s School for Girls, Winchester College and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College. Further away, Bedales Preparatory School at Petersfield is a further alternative and locally Perins Secondary
School has a first-class reputation.
