Northbrook Avenue, Hampshire, Winchester, SO23

This attractive detached property is situated on a prestigious private road on the eastern side of Winchester. It has been thoughtfully extended to offer well-balanced accommodation over two floors, with good-sized rooms throughout and a wonderful, large, part-walled garden. The house would benefit from modernisation and there is plenty of scope for extension at the side or back (subject to relevant planning consents). All-in-all, a welcoming and flexible home in the peaceful and sought-after location of St Giles Hill, with the whole of Winchester on the doorstep.



The front entrance porch opens into a spacious hall and in turn, the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a lovely, large space with an attractive open fireplace as a centrepiece and original parquet floor. Sliding doors lead through to a generous dining room at the back of the house which in turn has doors through to a welcoming conservatory with underfloor heating. Opposite the sitting room is another spacious reception room that could be a family room or study. At the rear of the house lies the fitted kitchen with an array of units, a Rangemaster oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer. In the hall, there is a cloakroom with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. On the first floor the four bedrooms and a family bathroom are situated around a central landing. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

There is parking for two cars on the drive alongside the neat front garden which has steps and a central path leading from the avenue to the front door. One of the stand-out features of the property is the beautiful, mature rear garden, over 100 feet long, which is very attractively landscaped. A sunken pergola provides a very appealing place to sit and enjoy the outlook. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn surrounded by well-stocked herbaceous borders. A vegetable plot at the end of the garden includes a fruit cage with established currant bushes and raspberries, raised beds, a mains-fed tap, a greenhouse and a shed.
