House For Sale £1,150,000
20 years ago we were searching for a new family home to be within easy reach of our children’s schools and with a garden big enough for a trampoline. This property was an 8- minute drive from the centre of Winchester, yet set in half an acre, so it was absolutely ideal. The house had such a welcoming feel and the space inside and out was just right for us, " recall the owners. “The property has been perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining. The drawing room has wonderful views of the garden and courtyard and French doors leading out to a patio area where we often have lunch during the summer. We enjoy having the whole family for Christmas and like to relax in the drawing room with the wood burner going after a walk along the old railway line with the dogs running free. The high ceiling is perfect for a decent sized Christmas tree.” “We enjoy spending time in the garden. It’s peaceful and quiet and surrounded by trees and hedging. There’s a real sense of being amongst wildlife with our colony of slowworms, the ornamental pond with its newts and dragonflies. We have bluetits who nest by the kitchen window, but perhaps the biggest surprise was the discovery of a dormouse in the greenhouse.” “We haven’t had to make any big changes and have enjoyed living in the house as it is...but we do have planning permission for extensions to the front and rear of the property for a garden room, kitchen / living area, boot room, and a roof garden with veranda accessible from the main bedroom - perfect spot to enjoy the garden with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Also, permission to extend the attic will provide uninterrupted views over the Itchen valley” “Itchen Abbas has lively community with an active village hall and excellent pub which did food deliveries during lockdown. We have a 9-hole golf club nearby and an lta affiliated tennis club within the grounds of the local private school, along with miles and miles of roadfree walks which is perfect for dog walking. With historic Winchester and the Georgian market town of Alresford with its coffee shops and boutiques just short drives away, I couldn’t imagine a better location. I could go on and on about the benefits of living here, we shall certainly miss it.”
