Property description

Enjoying a particularly wide 1/6th acre plot in a village cul-de-sac, a circa 1965 detached 3 bedroom bungalow with potential for enlargement.

Description
In the same ownership for over 25 years, this attractive and established bungalow is encompassed by its own gardens with a garage/workshop and broad driveway at the side. During recent years the conservatory has been replaced and the bathroom has been refitted as a shower room. The sitting room, conservatory and eat-in kitchen enjoy rear garden views. The main accommodation is centred upon a large reception hall above which is an extensive and mainly boarded loft. Additional characteristics include uPVC double glazing incorporating fanlights and window security locks, and a gas heating system with radiators. There is potential to enlarge the accommodation if required subject to any planning, legal and physical constraints.

Location
Braunton commands a long frontage within a broad verged and well spaced out close consisting of mainly detached properties with the majority being of a bungalow and chalet style originating in the 1960s with a small number of 1990s built detached houses. Yarnhams Close, within the much favoured Blackberry Lane area to the South of Four Marks village, benefits from access to the primary school, village hall, Church of the Good Shepherd, recreational complex and walks out into the neighbouring countryside and the Rotherfield Park country estate. The Meon Valley and South Coast can be reached via the A32. Within 5 miles along the A31 axis is the old market town of Alton offering individual and multiple shops, stores such as Sainsbury's, M&S and Waitrose, senior schools, a sports centre and station (Waterloo Line). Four Marks itself has a useful shopping centre with mini food markets, a bakery, takeaways, doctors and vets surgeries, bus services and the Watercress steam railway line. Alresford to the West is renowned for its Broad Street and bankside walks beside chalk streams. This Itchen Valley town also has Perins Accademy school, a Watercress Festival and agricultural show.
