This large, six bedroom, stunning family home in sought-after Winchester is beautiful inside and out, with original features dating back to its construction in 1908.
You cannot help but be impressed upon walking through the front door to the bright and beautiful entrance hall. Welcomed by high ceilings and a feature fireplace, take in the sense of space as you begin to explore the ground floor.
The immaculate herringbone parquet flooring underfoot continues into the large formal sitting room. This superb entertaining space features a bay window and double doors to the garden, perfect for making the most of the beautiful setting. This sun-drenched room is one of three large reception rooms which all back onto the well-kept, 0.5 acre, south-facing garden.
The dining room is ready and waiting to host your friends and family for gatherings, celebrations and as an alternative to the kitchen/diner for regular meals at home.
Then, when it’s time to unwind, cosy up in front of the wood burning stove in the snug, which is impressively proportioned with space for the whole family. When the weather is fine, throw open the double doors which lead directly to the patio and garden beyond.
While it’s difficult to pick a favourite room in this property, the kitchen/diner is a strong contender. The bespoke wooden frame cupboards and black granite work surfaces give a country-chic finish which is completed by the centrepiece: a fitted, four-oven Aga. This room makes an ideal heart of the home and is sure to be one of your family’s favourite places to gather.
In addition to these superb living and entertaining spaces, the ground floor includes a generous study; large games room; two WCs; utility room; and a double garage and workshop which can be accessed from indoors.
Moving to the first floor, upon ascending the part-panelled staircase from the entrance hall, you’ll arrive at the landing. From here, take your pick of the six bedrooms, two of which feature bay windows overlooking the garden. On this floor there are also three bathrooms and an additional, separate WC.
Complementing the wonderful sense of space in this house for sale in Winchester is the fantastic storage on offer, from the numerous closets, cupboards and built-in storage to the part-boarded loft up the original ladder.
The final secret which will delight many viewing the property is the fully boarded loft room, ideal for additional storage at the top of the house.
