The Old Butchers Shop, High Street, Selborne, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3JH The Old Butchers Shop, High Street, Selborne, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3JH The Old Butchers Shop, High Street, Selborne, Alton, Offers in Excess of £200,000 Hampshire, GU34 3JH A truly fascinating Grade II Listed building formerly an Old Butchers Shop boasting a wealth of charm and character having been sympathetically converted into a residential dwelling by the current owner to a superb standard. The property we believe dates back to the early 1700's having previously been the local Butchers Shop constructed with Limestone and Oak. It is said that Gilbert White himself in 1756 planted four Lime trees to the front of which two remain. They were planted to disguise the smell and site of the shop. The property is in a superb location with many people visiting the village for its popular country walks, outdoor pursuits and history. It would make a fantastic weekend retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The upgrading has been carefully thought out giving this historical building some modern touches whilst maintaining its character. The electrics have been upgraded and the lighting is via a remote control system allowing the resident to choose ambient mood lighting. The majority of the windows are double glazed and there is a broadband connection to the property. The open plan living/kitchen area measures 18'0 x 12'9 with ceilings height measuring 15'7 at its peak. There is a flagstone floor and heating is via cast iron Victorian style radiators with the addition of a small duel fuel Range with hob and oven. The kitchen area is at one end of the building with appliance space for a fridge and washing machine. There is a Butler style sink and the worktop is made of Oak. The cast iron spiral staircase was sourced from a stately home in Oxford and leads to the mezzanine floor with reclaimed Pine floor boards and Oak beams. The feeling of space is enhanced with the cut to size toughened safety glass overlooking part of the reception room below. The shower room comprises; fitted shower cubicle with twin curved glass screen with wall mounted 'Mira' shower, 'Burlingham' wash hand basin with storage cupboard below, low level WC, cast iron Victorian style electric radiator and frosted window to rear aspect. Outside Outside to the front is a delightful sun terrace/veranda ideal for enjoying a nice drink and watching the world go by. At the rear of the property is a timber storage shed. Additional Information The property has a council tax band A. Further information on the village and surrounding area can be found on the Selborne Parish Coucil website. Link: http://selborneparishcouncil.gov.uk/Selborne-Pc/the_village_of_selborne- 2651.aspx Location Located within the Conservation Area, the property is centrally positioned in the High Street of this pretty Hampshire village. Cobbett in 1823 noted that "nothing could surpass in beauty these dales and hillocks and hangers". In true country traditions, the village has a post office/general stores, several specialist establishments, a primary school, church, village hall, recreation ground and 2 inns, and lies between the country towns of Alton and Petersfield. Selborne within the South Downs National Park is also renowned for its network of unique walks and its connections with the 18th Century naturalist Gilbert White. The abundant walks include the Zig Zag, the Lythe, Noar Hill and 21 mile long Hangers Way with much of the local area in the ownership of the National Trust and the Blackmoor Estate. Alton's High Street is within 4.5 miles and has varied shops, M&S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose stores, 2 senior schools, Alton College, the Convent school, a sports centre and a commuter rail service to Waterloo. Alternatively, there is a train station at Liss on the Portsmouth-London line. The A3 links with London and the South Coast. Directions From Alton town centre, leave towards Winchester on Butts Road passing the green on the right and immediately bear left at the two railway arch mini- roundabouts onto the B3006 Selborne road. Enter the village passing Gracious Street on the right hand side and the property will be found almost directly opposite Gilbert White's House.

  • The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.
