This bright, attractive detached family home is well presented throughout but could benefit from some updating, and offers abundant scope for extension, subject to relevant planning permissions. The house occupies a great position in a cul-de-sac within an area which is very popular for many reasons, particularly the proximity and easy access to the railway station and City centre, and the great school catchments (St Bede primary and The Westgate secondary).

The welcoming entrance hall has the lovely original parquet floor and leads firstly into a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is well presented although dated, and very light with fitted units providing ample storage cupboards, space for appliances, and room for table and chairs. A door leads out to the side passage from here. To the other side of the hall lies a W.C, while at the rear it leads through to a wonderfully bright, large sitting room, also with super, original parquet flooring, which stretches across the rear of the house. There are large sliding doors out to the garden.

On the first floor there are three good bedrooms, all of which are doubles and have built in wardrobes, which share the family bathroom. The landing also has a useful storage cupboard as well as airing cupboard.

Outside to the front of the property there is an open plan garden with hedges separating the house from the quiet road and a driveway provides off-road parking, leading to the tandem-length garage. A gate between the house and the garage leads via a side passage through to the beautifully maintained rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub borders and close-board fences surrounding. There is a paved patio area immediately outside the sliding doors from the sitting room.

Manningford Close is located on the northern fringes of Winchester, ideally located to give easy access to Winchester railway station. It is a short walk to the high street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museum and of course the city's historic cathedral. The M3 motorway, A34 and A303 are also easily accessible from this location. The property is situated within the St Bede and Westgate school catchments.
