House For Sale £3,000,000
This outstanding detached family home is positioned on arguably one of the best plots within central Winchester, nestled behind secure gates and screened perfectly around the perimeter of the gardens.
Approximately 150 years old and originally a coach house/gardener’s cottage for one of the nearby substantial properties, this family home is located at the end of a private road of sizeable detached properties on large plots and well set back.
It was dramatically converted into a family home and has since been massively extended by the current owners and enjoyed for over 25 years.
Internally there is opulent accommodation throughout and offers in excess of 4000sqft of living space, laid out with four receptions rooms including a comfortable formal sitting room leading to a garden room, a fully fitted study with bespoke cabinetry and further reception room leading off the kitchen, ideal as a playroom or music room.
There is a formal dining hall located towards the central part of the property with three sets of French doors leading to the courtyard which is perfect for al fresco dining. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is finished to an excellent standard with further access to the courtyard.
An extension, added to the rear a number of years ago, provides a substantial utility room with boiler room, pantry and further boot room. The utility area also provides access to the fifth bedroom, shower room and to the double garage.
The first floor provides a further four bedrooms with two at either end of the house with en-suite facilities. The further two bedrooms are sizeable and served by the family bathroom.
Externally the gardens and overall plot are simply stunning and offer three separate lawned areas, all with a southerly aspect.<br /><br />This splendid and historical Cathedral city delights with much character and diverse architecture whilst successfully delivering a modern cosmopolitan feel, concentrated over just a few square miles. As well as national retail chains, Winchester is home to an array of independent boutique shops and eateries and an impressive farmers market. Winchester is also highly renowned for its outstanding education establishments ranging from both private and state schools to popular sixth form college and the oldest public school in the United Kingdom. Coast and country lifestyle pursuits are all within striking distance as the city is well placed for the South Downs National Park, the New Forest, the Meon Valley and both Bournemouth and Portsmouth’s coastal beaches. Equally however, the capital is commutable within the hour, using South West Trains rail connections to London Waterloo and with Southampton’s international airport granting air travel for those seeking further destinations.
