Update: This property has been sold.

If chic, sleek, open-plan living in a secluded, countryside location sounds like property perfection, this 5-bedroom home near Winchester could be your ideal next move.

The vision of award-winning T2 architects and immaculate interior design have combined to create a superb single-storey home boasting over 5100sqft of accommodation. While the layout is flexible, the current owners have created a tranquil oasis and your initial impression upon entry is breath-taking style, clean lines and bright, open space.

Nestled in green fields, this spectacular property is set within its own 3-acre estate accessed by bespoke electric gates. Upon nearing the house and approaching the oversized front door you realise that you are about to enter an exceptional property with a truly ‘Grand Designs’ aura.

Directly opposite the front door, glass sliding doors lead to the flawlessly tranquil Koi pond and gardens beyond. Turn right and you pass a guest WC and large utility room with access from outside as well as in before the space effortlessly flows into the kitchen/dining room.

This heart of the home is perfect for family meals and entertaining, with a sociable layout around a large, central island. High specification integrated appliances make cooking a pleasure, while ample space for a huge dining table ensures you can invite all your friends and family to dinner.

Natural light remains the enduring theme throughout the property, with huge windows indulging in 360-degree countryside views, plus rooflight windows which simply spill sunlight into the home.

Continue through this large family property near Winchester and, separated from the kitchen by a stylish feature fire is the large formal sitting room. Two small sets of steps separate this space slightly, giving it a cosy feeling as you retire for the evening. Again, making the most of the countryside location, all three external walls of the sitting room are glazed with sliding doors, allowing you to enjoy unique indoor/outdoor living and creating the perfect party space.

The property is designed in a horseshoe shape around that striking Koi pond and, at the opposite end to the living space, you’ll find five extremely generous bedrooms. The master bedroom gazes out through large windows to the rolling countryside while its own sliding doors give access to the Koi pond and gardens. An ensuite and separate dressing room completes this bedroom, ensuring a personal oasis for the principal family members.

The remaining bedrooms all continue the themes of light and space, and three feature fitted wardrobes. Meanwhile, the two have their own ensuites, and the remaining two share a large family bathroom. Whether you’re a family with children or intend to invite guests to stay, there is space for everyone to very comfortably spend the night.

The final room to explore is the sleek, glass office, creating a private workspace which is still very much part of the home. Whether you work from home, want to create your own library or have other plans for this additional space, it is an extremely useful and stylish room.

Briefly revisiting that vast and beautiful outdoor area: should you wish to add to your home, there is potential to build additional outbuildings and garaging. You could also make enquiries about landscaping and/or adding a swimming pool to truly make the most of your unique location.

This stunning family home sits to the south of popular and historic Winchester. This city has so much to offer, a stone’s throw from your front door. From independent and high street shops to Michelin restaurants, museums and the iconic cathedral, you are spoilt for a choice of things to do and places to visit.

The farmers’ markets are extremely popular while the Christmas market draws crowds from near and far. For those with children, there are plenty of excellent schools in the area, right up to the university level.

Your closest train station is in Winchester and just 10mins away by car. From here you can commute to London in an hour, which is another reason Winchester is such a sought-after location and why this property, in particular, is such a fantastic find.
