A light and airy home in a small development of just twelve properties designed for the over 55's situated in the centre of the town. Melrose Cottage occupies an elevated position with the benefit of having a short walk, via a secure gated access, through to Bakehouse Yard and West Street, making this an ideal home for someone needing to be really close to the shops and facilities in the town centre. Bus services to Winchester, Alton and Petersfield are readily available just a few minutes' walk away.
The property was built in 2005 by Archstone Developments and is immaculately presented throughout. The front door opens to the entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom with a wetroom shower, wc and wash hand basin. Stairs lead to the first floor, with a storage cupboard below. To the front of the property is the kitchen, which has a range of fitted storage units, worksurfaces and integrated appliances. The dining room is off the kitchen, with plenty of space for a table and chairs. Double doors open to the conservatory, which enjoys a lovely outlook over, and access to, the garden. A door from the entrance hall opens to the spacious sitting room, which has an electric fire in an attractive fireplace surround, and French doors leading to the garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes, with a door leading to the en-suite shower room, which is fitted with a modern white suite. The second bedroom also has a fitted wardrobe, and there is a third bedroom, which could easily double as a hobbies room/study. Off the landing is a bathroom, fitted with a white suite.
Outside, the garden enjoys privacy and seclusion. It has been designed to be low-maintenance and includes a paved seating area, a selection of flower and shrub borders, a garden shed enclosed by close board fencing and a flint rear wall. The secure parking area is located nearby, with access via an electronic key fob, with the parking being under cover in a car barn. There is visitors' parking at the top of the close.
A quarterly charge covers the upkeep of the scheme, including the maintenance of the road, the front gardens, window cleaning and exterior decorating as well as paying for the buildings insurance and a sinking fund to cover future liabilities.
Alresford is a beautiful Georgian town known for its variety of independent shops, restaurants and inns located in stunning surroundings on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Attractions include the Watercress steam railway, schools for infant, junior and secondary education, several churches and an active and inclusive community. The cathedral city of Winchester is about 7 miles away and there is easy access to the south coast, the midlands and London via the road network. There is also mainline rail access to London from both Winchester and Alton. Southampton airport is only about half an hour away by car.
