Property description

BOOK YOUR VIEWING for Launch Day Saturday 15th October 2016 - An impressively designed 1985 built 4 bedroom detached bungalow set in an exclusive small close with a South Easterly facing rear garden adjacent to the village centre.

Description
The property is beautifully balanced and proportioned and is one of just four detached homes of varying designs located at the wide culmination of this courtyard development approached off Blackberry Lane in a well respected residential setting. All the rooms are independently accessed from the reception hall apart from the two en-suite facilities, the guest bedroom suite being the only accommodation on first floor level. The principal rooms are positioned at the rear of the property and therefore enjoy the South Easterly vista over the broad and well stocked rear gardens. Lending itself to cosmetic improvement, features include smooth ceilings, white six panelled internal doors with brass finished handles, moulded architraves and skirting boards, double glazing, a gas heating system with radiators and majority solid internal walls.

Location
Mulberry Court in the Blackberry Lane area lies to the South Eastern side of Four Marks village and is well regarded for its attractive range of mainly individual detached homes of much varying ages, sizes and designs. The Berries, one of 6 different styled detached homes in a select development, is handily placed for a shortcut footpath leading to the village shopping centre. The location is strategically placed for the primary school, Church of the Good Shepherd, village hall and country walks in the neighbourhood. At the far end of the road, Brislands Lane leads to the recreation area including a cricket ground and allotments whilst the village has a diverse range of shops with a garage/M&S outlet, Tesco and Co-op mini stores, eateries, doctors and vets surgeries, a golf course, garden centre, bus services and the Mid Hants Steam Railway Line locally known as ‘The Alps‘ due to the elevated location occupied by Four Marks. Alton‘s Georgian High Street is within 3.8 miles drive with its family and multiple traders, M&S, Sainsbury‘s, Iceland and Boots stores, regular open air and farmers market events, and an intriguing history witnessed by a visit to the Curtis Museum. The town also provides senior and Convent schools, Alton College, a station (Waterloo min. 67 minutes journey time), Waitress and Aldi stores, fitness clubs and a sports centre. To the South West lies Alresford, which includes Perins academy/sports college, Broad Street and picturesque riverside walks among its attributes. Farnham, Guildford and Winchester are reached also by the A31.
