A centrally located two-bedroom cottage on Old Acre Road, offered chain free and ready for a new owner. The house has been redecorated internally and features an open-plan kitchen/living area, a feature fireplace, and two double bedrooms. Outside, a very large rear garden with side access provides rare outdoor space for a property of this size.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking character and proximity to transport and shops — Alton town centre, Waitrose and the railway station are all within easy walking distance. The compact footprint (approximately 553 sq ft) keeps maintenance down but limits living space, so it’s best for buyers who prioritise location and outdoor space over large interiors.
Practical considerations: the home has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation and an EPC rating of D, so heating costs are likely above modern standards. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. On-street parking is available rather than private parking. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported above average.
For buy-to-let buyers, the property has a rental track record and an estimated rent of £1,200–£1,250 pcm, giving a gross yield around 4.7% at the current asking price. The layout and large garden also present straightforward refurbishment or incremental improvement opportunities to raise comfort or rental value.
