Life’s Too Short For Decorating Or DIY. The kitchen and dining room have been opened up to create a stylish sociable space, the lounge has been refreshed, the bathroom's new and the garden's been landscaped. A spacious family home on a quiet close, with nothing left to do.

Between work, school runs and the never-ending juggle of family life, the last thing you need is a house that demands weekend trips to B&Q and evenings decorating on top of it all.

Here, that's simply not part of the deal - every room has already been done, and done with real style, so all that's left is to move in and get on with actually living.

The heart of the home is the kitchen-diner, knocked through by the current owners to create one open, sociable space that runs the width of the back of the house.

There's room for a proper dining table, an island to gather around, and enough space for the whole family to cook, eat and hang out without getting under each other's feet. Bi-fold doors open straight onto the garden, so summer evenings spill outside without anyone really deciding to make it happen.

The lounge sits at the front of the house and has been refreshed to match - a separate grown-up space perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day.

Upstairs, four bedrooms give a growing family real room to breathe, and the bathroom has been completely updated - clean, modern and ready to use from day one.

The garden has been levelled and landscaped, with a paved seating area for the barbecue and lawn for the kids or the dog to run about on. It's low maintenance by design, so the weekends are yours again.

All of this sits on a quiet close in Alton, with Flood Meadows outside your front door. The town centre is close enough to walk in around 20 minutes, so you're not trading peace and quiet for convenience - you get both.

If you've been searching for a family home where someone else has already done the hard part - and done it well - this is genuinely one to see.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch soon to arrange a viewing.
