Summary - 19 BASINGSTOKE ROAD ALTON GU34 1QB
4 bed 2 bath House
Large established garden, two garages and easy walk to town and station.
Detached four-bedroom Edwardian house with high ceilings and fireplaces
A spacious detached four-bedroom Edwardian family house set on just over a quarter of an acre in one of Alton’s most sought-after streets. Well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, large windows and fireplaces give the home a traditional, welcoming character; the conservatory provides a useful link between house and mature garden for everyday family life. Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and two garages with private driveway parking.
Ground-floor versatility adds appeal: a twin-aspect bedroom with en suite can serve as a guest room, home office or playroom, while separate sitting and dining rooms retain period charm. The standalone kitchen is fitted and serviceable, with a utility area adjacent; there is clear scope to reconfigure or extend (planning for a two-storey extension was granted in 2007 but has now lapsed).
Outside, landscaped terraces, broad lawns and a wild garden area create a private, varied plot with access to nearby green space and a shared track to Princess Drive. Location is a major strength — a third of a mile from Alton High Street, just over a mile from the station to London Waterloo, excellent broadband and mobile signals, low local crime and a selection of well-rated schools close by.
Buyers should note the lapsed planning permission if they intend to enlarge the home, and the property carries above-average council tax. Overall this is a comfortable, characterful family house with large gardens and clear potential to modernise or extend to suit contemporary family living.
