Alan Titchmarsh’s ‘beautiful’ country house in a town where houses cost an average of £378,000

Alan Titchmarsh, 75, is a well-known professional gardener and radio and television presenter who has been a regular face on British television for many years.

Titchmarsh began his career in radio when he presented the gardening programme House in a Garden on BBC Radio 2. He then made his debut on the small screen as a horticultural expert on the BBC television programme Nationwide, before taking on the role of presenter of the Chelsea Flower Show for BBC television in 1983.

In 1996, Titchmarsh took over as presenter of the BBC programme Gardeners’ World, which was even filmed in his own garden.

He later presented the BBC One television series Ground Force, alongside presenters Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh.

In addition to his gardening work, Titchmarsh has also written several fiction books. His first was published in 1998 by Simon and Schuster, the Express reports.

Titchmarsh is originally from Ilkley, West Riding of Yorkshire, but now divides his time between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

In 2002, he and his wife Alison moved to their Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse in Hampshire. The estate, set in 10 acres of grounds, features 10 small waterfalls, a large greenhouse, a barn and an abundance of lush greenery.

The stunning property is located in Alton, Hampshire and is reportedly worth a whopping £1.25 million, according to Entertainment Daily.

Alton, a market town in Hampshire, has a rich history recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086.

Known as one of Hampshire’s friendliest towns, this bustling town was the former home of famous author Jane Austen.

Hailed as one of the Muddy Stilettos’ main hometowns, the picturesque town is cherished for its unspoilt natural appeal, serene countryside and vibrant shops, restaurants and pubs.

Muddy Stilettos paints a charming picture of the town as “pretty and easily accessible”, full of “chocolate-coloured thatched cottages, converted barns, Victorian and Edwardian houses and modern new builds”.

In addition, Titchmarsh owns a seaside home near Cowes on the Isle of Wight, where he spends about a third of his year.

According to property website Rightmove, the average house price in Alton, Hampshire last year was £377,661. Terraced houses were the most popular property, costing an average of £353,213.

During the same period, houses in Cowes fetched an average of £343,195.
