A characterful detached house on a generous 0.217-acre plot, offered with planning permission (Ref: 53574) to create a substantially larger, modern family layout. The current accommodation already feels spacious with high ceilings, large windows and a long 25'8" sitting room that flows into the kitchen/dining area and garden — useful for everyday living and entertaining. The house benefits from a south-west rear aspect, mature planting and terraces that create sheltered outdoor seating and play areas.
The approved plans (Feb 2025) allow for a multiple-aspect kitchen/dining/sitting room opening to a raised patio, additional ground-floor living spaces including a snug and playroom, and an enlarged principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite. Those seeking to create a long-term family home will value the clear scope to add contemporary living space while retaining period proportions.
Practical points are straightforward: double glazing has been replaced post-2002, heating is gas boiler and radiators, and there is a garage plus parking for several cars. The property is freehold and sits within easy walking distance (about one-third mile) of Alton High Street, shops, stations and good local schools.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: there is a single family bathroom, some external walls are cavity construction with assumed no added insulation, and the area records above-average crime rates. Council tax is above average. The planning permission represents a significant value-add but will require project management and building costs to implement.
