The Lilacs, Haig Road, Alresford

Tucked away in a tranquil setting, this individual, modernised, colonial-style property benefits from having a secluded, southerly facing garden and good parking. The Lilacs has been beautifully fully renovated and is ideal for anyone looking for ground floor living, with further accommodation available on the first floor. It is conveniently located for the town centre, which is just a few minutes' walk away via a pathway linking Haig Road with the church, and to the top end of Broad Street. 

The property is found at the end of Haig Road, and is approached from the driveway. A door from the enclosed entrance porch opens to the modern kitchen, which features a range of elegantly fitted units and drawers, with worktops and built-in appliances. The kitchen is open to the dining room and sitting room, creating one large open-plan living/entertaining space. Views of the garden can be enjoyed from the box window in the sitting room. 

Off the inner hall is the main bedroom, which also enjoys views of the garden. The bathroom features a white suite, and there is a second bedroom/study on the ground floor.

Stairs from the hall lead up to the first floor, which has restricted head height in places. The main space is given over to a large bedroom, and walk-in wardrobe, with a lovely view of the garden. There is a cloakroom with a wc and wash hand basin.  

Outside, the gravelled front garden allows parking for several cars, which is unusual in the centre of Alresford. A path to the side of the property leads through to the attractive, southerly-facing garden, which enjoys a high degree of privacy and seclusion. There is a paved area adjoining the rear of the property, with the remainder laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders. There is a summer house at the far end.
