A compact, nicely presented and well-proportioned detached house offering excellent scope for extension if desired. Planning permission exists for significant extension and change to the current structure under Planning Application Reference: 22/00231/HOU. The house is built of attractive red brick, which is tile-hung to the first floor and the property benefits from a most wonderful, large, level garden at the rear. The position is excellent, on a quiet residential road close to the local shops and amenities at Stoney Lane.

A good-sized open porch provides cover for the front door which leads through to the entrance hall, where stairs rise to the first floor. To one side, the front-to-back sitting/dining room is an impressive, bright space with large windows to the front and double, glazed doors leading out to the rear garden. Alongside at the rear, there is a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with ample base and eye-level units, and with space for appliances such as washing machine, dishwasher, oven and fridge. A door leads out to a lobby area from which the rear of the double garage can be reached and there is a further door through to a store and another door to the garden. Useful storage sheds are attached to the rear of the house.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms radiating from the landing. At the rear is a large wet-room style shower room and alongside is a separate WC.

The large, lawned rear garden is a fantastic feature, offering plenty of space for all the family and a good deal of privacy. A wonderful, large, contemporary, wood-clad garden studio provides over 300 sq ft of space for a myriad of uses including working from home. At the front of the house there is ample parking available on the gravelled drive in front of the double garage.

Godwin Close is situated on the north-western fringes of Winchester, ideally placed to give easy access to the mainline railway station and the local shops (including Waitrose) on Stoney Lane, where restaurants, takeaways, a pharmacy, post office and large GP practice and health centre can be found. The city centre is within easy reach, with its high street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and the city's historic cathedral. The M3 motorway, A34 and A303 are also easily accessible from this location. The property is close to very good local primary and secondary schools, including Kings’, Westgate and Henry Beaufort. Peter Symonds Sixth Form College is also nearby and is recognised for its outstanding results for pre-university education.
