This beautifully proportioned period property offers an exceptional amount of space over its two original floors, but also within the beautifully converted attic space. This elegant home will appeal greatly to those who want characterful and flexible accommodation that can be adjusted to their own needs. The house benefits from close proximity to the station and is in the catchment area for excellent local schools, including Western Primary and The Westgate School. The highly regarded Peter Symonds Sixth Form College is located just up the road.

On the ground floor a welcoming entrance hall leads to the light-filled sitting room with period features including large bay window, cornicing and picture rails. A wood burning stove is attractively inset within the fireplace. Beyond this is the dining room, currently used as a study - another lovely room with period fireplace and inset wood burner, and double doors out to the side of the house. To the rear of the property is the wonderful open-plan kitchen/dining/family room which is exceptionally light courtesy of large windows along one side and bi-folding doors stretching almost the full width of the house, opening onto the patio and garden beyond. There is plenty of space for comfortable seating and a table and chairs. The kitchen itself is modern and well-equipped with sleek units providing ample storage. Integrated appliances including dishwasher, washer and dryer with space for a range-style cooker and fridge/freezer. A useful understairs cupboard and a smart downstairs WC situated off the hallway complete the accommodation on this level.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the generous bedroom to the front is an excellent size with both a large bay window and sash window, original fireplace and lovely high ceilings. Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom are also situated on this floor. From the first floor landing, stairs lead to the converted attic and the principal suite. The bedroom is a superb size with a contemporary en-suite shower room and Juliet balcony. To the rear is the sixth bedroom, used by the current owners as a study, with far reaching views across Winchester courtesy of its double aspect. This room benefits from built-in shelving and plenty of eaves storage.

Outside there is an attractive tiled footpath leading to the front door and a small area of front garden with a hedge giving privacy. A gate provides side access to the 120 ft south-facing rear garden which is beautifully landscaped, with a paved patio area directly behind the house nestled beneath a charming, vine-clad pergola, creating a perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to a sunny lawn flanked by many beautiful flowers and shrubs and then onto the next level which feels like a tropical paradise with a pond and water feature. To the rear is a further generous area of lawn and a large workshop with both light and power, which could easily be converted to a home office or garden studio. Permit parking is available on the road.
