A Characterful Family Home with Modern Comforts – Anna Valley, Andover
Set in the heart of Anna Valley, just on the edge of Andover, this beautifully presented detached former gate house dates back to 1904 and effortlessly blends period character with modern living. From its welcoming charm to its versatile spaces, this is a home designed for both family life and entertaining.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a light and inviting entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of the property. To the front, a cosy sitting room with an open fire provides the perfect retreat, while to the rear, a stunning extended kitchen/dining/family room steals the show. With a feature light lantern roof, two sets of French doors spilling out onto the garden, and an open fire, this is the true heart of the home – bright, sociable, and beautifully connected to the outdoors.
Practical living has also been well thought through, with a utility/second kitchen, a downstairs cloakroom, and a stylish ground-floor shower room. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom provide space for everyone.
Outside, the wrap-around garden flows around the house to the front, side, and rear. Largely laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging for privacy, it offers a peaceful haven. The large timber barn-style garage, insulated with a tiled roof, includes an open covered seating area that blends seamlessly into the rear patio – perfect for alfresco dining or relaxed evenings outdoors.
With double glazing, gas central heating, and thoughtful updates throughout, the property balances period charm with everyday comfort.
Anna Valley offers the best of both worlds – a friendly village feel with easy access to Andover’s shops, station, and amenities, while rolling countryside walks are just moments away. Families will also appreciate the highly regarded primary and secondary school catchment.
This is more than just a house – it’s a lifestyle. A home full of history, character, and space to grow.
