The front of the plot includes an area of lawn bordered by panelled fencing, hedging and picket fencing with the gravelled driveway to one side. Gated access at one end of the driveway leads to both the front of the attached workshop and the attractive patio area, secluded behind decorative panelled fencing.

A hallway leads to the front of the property with the modern kitchen having a side aspect with an external door out to one side of the property. The kitchen itself has a range of eye and base level cupboards and drawers with solid Oak worksurfaces over, attractive subway tiled splashbacks and an inset, modern belfast sink. There is space and connections for free-standing appliances. Further along the hallway is a dual-aspect living room with a bay window overlooking the front garden plus a window to one side. Exposed timber flooring is a feature of this room as is the multi-fuel burning stove, inset within a brick surround with a sandstone tiled hearth and mantle.

All three bedrooms are located at the rear of the bungalow with two double bedrooms both overlooking the expanse of the rear garden and the third bedroom, a good-sized single having a front aspect. The modern, contemporary shower room features contrasting wall and floor tiles with a double walk in shower enclosure, close coupled WC and vanity hand wash basin with vanity storage below. Outside, there is gated access between the front and the rear gardens via a pathway to one side which also has access to a built-in storeroom which contains the electric meter and the consumer unit, both recently installed as part of the rewiring of the property. The rear garden itself is enclosed by a mixture of both panelled and post and rail fencing and measures in excess of 100ft.

The property is located off Old Salisbury Road which links Little Ann Road with Salisbury Road. Nearby are The Poplar Farm Inn, just a couple of hundred metres away with the village of Abbotts Ann less than a mile away via Little Ann Road. Abbotts Ann is a thriving community with an award winning village shop, church, state of the art primary school and its own public house, The Eagle. Just across Salisbury Road is the village of Anna Valley which has a garden centre and local farm shop. Anna Valley sits below Bury Hill, the site of an ancient Iron Age hillfort which can be explored via a myriad of local public footpaths whilst Pillhill Brook flows through Abbotts Ann and Anna Valley on its way to link up with the River Anton, a tributary of the River Test. Abbotts Ann is one of Andover's nearest outlying villages and so close to the amenities that Andover itself offers including the mainline Exeter to London Waterloo railway line, various pre-school, primary and secondary schools plus Andover College for tertiary education. Andover boasts a theatre, cinema, hospital, eateries, supermarkets, a twice-weekly high street market plus occasional weekend artisan markets and much more besides.
