Outside

The house has a very attractive approach via a pair of recessed electric hardwood gates and a hedge lined shingle driveway leading to a turning and parking area at the front. The setting lends itself to al fresco entertaining really rather well and takes full advantage of the beautiful location with areas of decking and paving (with external lighting) set off each of the principal rooms to the south and west. The inner garden areas to the front, side and rear are arranged with a variety of specimen plants and paved pathways.

The outer areas of the grounds are set between mature hedgerows with broad areas of lawn and light woodland.

The woodland provides a perfect ‘getaway’ space for all ages with a network of pathways and a variety of young and mature trees.

Situation

The property occupies a very mature and secluded location. Upper Anstey Lane forms part of Shalden Parish and is a small no-through lane in-between the villages of Froyle and Shalden about 11⁄2 miles to the north of the historic market town of Alton.
