4 bedroom detached house for sale

An individual, modern house sitting on a secluded plot in this tranquil village, within the beautiful Itchen Valley. The property is located just a short walk from The Bush Inn and stunning riverside walks to Itchen Stoke, Avington and Easton, with Winchester being a 15 minute drive away. Ovington is a highly sought-after village, with homes rarely changing hands. Amber House is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain. 

The house was built to a high standard in 1980, and offers plenty of versatile accommodation, including a self-contained annexe/office in the front garden, and a useful double garage. The property is approached from the driveway, with the front door opening to a lobby and on into the entrance hall, from where stairs go up to the first floor. To the left is the kitchen, with a range of units, drawers, worktops AGA and a back up cooker with gas hob and electric oven. There is also space for a dining table. The room is open-plan to the sitting room, from where French doors open to the garden. Off the kitchen, is a utility room with doors leading to the back and pantry/boiler room. There is a further good-size reception room, with Jetmaster stove and with French doors to the garden. In addition, there is a ground floor double bedroom with a shower/cloakroom, with Jack & Jill door to the hall which can create privacy.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has views over the rear garden, with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is also a double room with built–in wardrobes. There is a single bedroom and a family bathroom off the landing. The upstairs drawing room, also with a Jetmaster fire, makes the most of the light and views from the first floor, and doubles as a study/family room.  

The annexe building is independent of the main house, and is currently used as a studio, but could easily be converted into living accommodation, as it contains a shower room, kitchenette, utility and bed/sitting room.

There is a double garage and good driveway parking with an entrance gate, with a path to the side of the house leading to the attractive south facing rear garden, where a sizeable terrace adjoins the fenced rear of the house. There are lawn, flower and shrub borders with an oak pergola seating area. The garden can be easily enclosed with the addition of a side gate for further security. 

Ovington is a peaceful village with little traffic, with the local pub being the main draw for visitors, as well as the beautiful walk along the River Itchen from the pub. Ovington is located just a couple of miles from Alresford, and about 6 miles from Winchester. There are regular bus services running between Winchester and Alresford, both of which cater for shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. It is within easy access to the Hospitals in Winchester, Basingstoke and Southampton. Main line services are also available from Winchester, Micheldever Station and Basingstoke.
