This handsome, detached, five-bedroom house was originally built in the 1940s, although has subsequently been extended, restructured, and refurbished to produce the spacious and flexible accommodation on offer today. The property has an abundance of natural light throughout, with the well-proportioned rooms offering approximately 2,750 sq ft of versatile living space which lends itself very nicely to modern living.

First impressions internally are excellent, with the spacious, welcoming central hallway giving access to all the principal accommodation. The generous sitting room has a working fireplace with attractive wooden surround as a centrepiece and a beautiful bay window to the front. The elegant dining room is appealingly presented with ample space for entertaining and, again, has a lovely bay window as a feature. This room could equally be used as an additional sitting room/lounge. The heart of this superb home is the striking, open-plan kitchen/family room which stretches almost the full width of the house and provides a sense of being closely tied to the stunning patio and garden beyond. The modern fitted kitchen is tastefully presented and has a good amount of storage with space for appliances. The room also provides generous living and dining areas while two sets of French doors lead out to the rear garden allowing plenty of natural light. A log burner creates a focus for the seating area and there is a cheerful snug to the end of the room with an attractive exposed-brick feature wall. A wonderful addition to this space is the excellent pantry leading from the kitchen, which provides a great deal of extra storage. A useful utility room, good-sized study and downstairs WC complete the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor where three double bedrooms radiate from the splendid central landing. The principal bedroom has the advantage of fitted-wardrobes and a stylish en-suite with both a bath and separate shower. Both the principal bedroom and bedroom two have wonderful views over South Winchester Golf Course courtesy of bay windows to the front. Bedroom three enjoys views over the rear garden and there is also a smart family bathroom with bath and shower over on this floor. Two further double bedrooms can be found on the second floor, both with built-in cupboards, eaves storage and views over the rear garden.

Outside, the property is attractively and privately set back beyond an area of lawn and the driveway, which provides ample parking for several vehicles. The integral garage provides further parking while a gate to the side of the house leads through to the extensive rear garden which is both private and mature, with shrubs within the borders around the large lawn. A very impressive patio stretches across the rear of the house – perfect for enjoying the outlook over the garden. A garden office and workshop are situated towards the end of the garden, both of which are fully equipped with light and power. There is also a good-sized shed and greenhouse, perfect for the keen gardener.

Oliver's Battery is ideally located to provide access to the City of Winchester, with its railway station (links to London Waterloo in approximately 55 minutes), high street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the City's historic cathedral. There are local shops available just around the corner and Sainsbury's supermarket is also within close proximity. There are frequent bus services with bus stops nearby and good local schools within walking distance. The M3 motorway is easily accessible from this location. Catchment for John Keble and Oliver's Battery Primary and Kings' Secondary Schools, and in close proximity to St Peter’s Catholic Primary School.
