Only A Five Minute Walk From The Station, Round The Corner From The High Street Shops And No Chain To Slow You Down. This one's a genuine blank canvas with a private back garden and parking - perfect for first time buyers or investors.

Weekday Waterloo commutes get easier when you’re just a five minute walk from the station and then at the weekend you’ve got the choice of Alton’s High Street shops and places to eat, just round the corner. With no chain to hold things up, that could be your new routine sooner than you think.

The kitchen sits at the front of the house, and it's the one room that could do with a bit of a freshen-up. The green and cream tiles and “brickwork” baseboards under the fitted units are a bit of a time capsule. But that's exactly what makes this such good value. Strip it back, put your own kitchen in, and you've instantly added real value to the place.

From there, the lounge runs through to a conservatory at the back, so you've got a proper spot for movie nights up front and somewhere light and bright to spread out behind it. Throw the French doors open on a warm day and the garden becomes part of the room.

The garden is a decent size (especially for something in the centre of town) and is split between lawn and decking, with a wooden shed down at the bottom.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom's in good shape already, so that's one less job on the list, and the bedrooms give you a proper double and a single - handy for a home office, a nursery, or just somewhere to put the ironing pile.

This would make a great blank canvas first time buy but if you're looking at it as an investment, it's already proved it can earn its keep, having been successfully tenanted for several years.

If you want a home in a convenient close to town location where you get to have the fun of putting your own stamp on the place, this is well worth a look. There’s no chain, no waiting around, just a straightforward move into a handy spot that ticks all the boxes.
