This lovely period property offers practical and stylish family accommodation which has been cleverly and stylishly reconfigured to maximise the available space. Many of the desirable features of the house’s age are evident, including lovely high ceilings, picture rails and cornicing, while modern improvements include wooden double-glazed sash windows and a successful loft conversion. The property is superbly located for the City centre, Winchester mainline station and the local schools and nurseries and planning has been approved for a rear extension to include utility room, downstairs WC and kitchen/family room whilst still maintaining the patio area.

The inviting hallway leads to a most welcoming sitting room at the front which is wonderfully light with a bay window and a period fireplace. Beyond this is a separate dining room, with sliding doors between the two so they can be used as one large room if required. Useful storage cupboards are situated under the stairs. At the rear of the house is a lovely kitchen which is well appointed and bright, with ample fitted units providing plenty of cupboard space and a beautiful view onto the garden. Integrated appliances include a double oven and four ring induction hob and there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher as well as space for an upright fridge/freezer. The garden can be accessed from here via a side patio door.

The first floor has two good-sized double bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear rear, with fitted wardrobes, and a further bedroom lies in the middle. A modern family bathroom with bath and rainfall shower over completes the accommodation on this floor. Stairs lead to the converted attic, which is a lovely bright room currently used as the master bedroom. There is access to the loft storage from this floor.

Outside to the rear of the house is a very attractive garden, with patio area immediately outside. The garden is mainly laid to lawn bordered by mature shrubs and a selection of plants and flowers, while there is a shed at the bottom of the garden. At the front of the house there is a small front garden bordered by a low wall and with an attractive tiled path leading to the front door. A gate to the side provides useful access to the rear garden from the front. Permit parking is available in Zone I.
