Balmoral Close, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 1QY

Believed to date from the Regency period and originating from circa 1820, this substantial and characterful three-bedroom home forms part of what was once a handsome larger residence, more recently divided into three individual homes.

The property retains a wealth of impressive period features, offering a wonderful combination of historic character, generous proportions and modern family living.

From the welcoming entrance hall, the ground floor flows naturally through to the kitchen/dining room and an impressive drawing room, which enjoys an exceptional ceiling height of approximately 10'10".

The room is centred around a striking feature fireplace, while high ceilings, ornate cornicing and exposed joinery further emphasise the grandeur and character of the property.

Beyond the drawing room is a more recently added orangery, a particularly appealing space which floods with natural light and provides a versatile area for relaxing or entertaining, with views over and access to the garden.

A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, each benefiting from the excellent ceiling heights and the character found throughout the home, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property continues to impress externally, with an enclosed two-tiered garden positioned to the front of the house.

A sunken brick-paved terrace provides an attractive area for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the remaining garden offering a pleasant combination of established planting and lawn.

To the front, there is private off road parking.

Throughout the property, a wealth of original and sympathetic period detailing can be found, including sash windows, several fireplaces, ornate corniced ceilings, natural recessed-panelled wooden doors, elegant architraves and deep skirting boards.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Regency-era home with genuine period character, impressive proportions and versatile modern accommodation, ideally suited to those seeking a home with both architectural interest and a wonderful sense of space.
