DESCRIPTION:
Extended and improved by the current owners during their recent tenure, this three bedroomed detached bungalow is located in one of Andover's most established residential areas and benefits from its proximity to town centre amenities and local schools whilst having open countryside never far away. The current owners have extensively landscaped the outside space to form an attractive, low maintenance and practical rear garden with generous driveway parking to the front. The well presented accommodation has a light and airy feel throughout, encompassing natural light and comprises a modern, contemporary, open-plan living/kitchen/dining room, utility room, cloakroom, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom along with an attached garage with electric door, power and lighting.
LOCATION:
Andover offers a range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities including a college of further education, a cinema, theatre and leisure centre. The mainline railway station runs a direct route to London's Waterloo in just over an hour whilst the nearby A303 offers good road access to both London and the West Country. Belmont Road can be found on the southern side of Andover off Winchester Road via Old Winton Road and gives good access not only to the town centre but also open countryside with Rooksbury Mill Nature Reserve, Harewood Forest and the outlying Clatford villages a short distance away. Andover Golf Club can be found on Winchester Road with the Hampshire Golf Club a short distance further on as Winchester Road heads towards Stockbridge, Wherwell, Chilbolton and the River Test.
