Homes in Andover
Andover was a small market town until the 1960s, when it was expanded to take London overspill. Most of its housing dates from that era onwards, with estates around the town centre and later development at Augusta Park, Picket Twenty and Saxon Fields.
The old town has some historic buildings and a conservation area. The town sits on chalk, with the River Anton running through, and groundwater flooding can occur after very wet winters. Overspill-era houses have often been re-roofed, re-windowed or extended since they were built. Augusta Park and Picket Twenty have larger homes popular with families. Town centre regeneration has added a handful of newer flats. The surrounding villages, such as Weyhill and Charlton, have older cottages in brick, flint and thatch. Andover is home to Army Headquarters at Marlborough Lines.
Areas we cover include Andover Town, Augusta Park, Picket Twenty, Saxon Fields, Charlton, Weyhill.
