The property Attractive mid century detached family home, with secluded westerly facing garden and far reaching views across the golf course and to open fields beyond, and offers versatile accommodation with bedrooms and bathrooms on both the ground and first floor.

A spacious driveway edged with lawns, shrubs and a silver birch tree sits behind a low brick wall, and leads to the property which was built by the current family in the 1960s. A welcoming hallway leads to all downstairs rooms. The sitting room has been beautifully designed to be split level from the dining area courtesy of two steps leading down to the seating area, which has windows to the front and rear gardens. The dining area has sliding glass doors to the terrace, and a useful hatch into the kitchen/breakfast room.

The well fitted kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the home, with a wall of windows and doors to the garden, and ample space for a large breakfast table. A door leads from here into the garage where there is plumbing for a utility area.

The family room sits to the front of the property, with a large window overlooking the front garden and driveway, and is easily adaptable to be a fourth bedroom, courtesy of both a cloakroom and bath/shower room also usefully located on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes, access to loft space, and overlooks both the front and rear gardens, and boasts wonderful far reaching views. Bedroom two has two fitted wardrobe cupboards, one with shelving and drawers, and the other with hanging and shelving and access to the loft space above. Bedroom three also has a built in wardrobe cupboard with hanging and shelving, but it also benefits from a large walk in store room with power and light, ideal for storage and possible conversion to further accommodation (stp).

Outside, the rear garden is a particular joy. It is westerly facing, with a long lawn, and a deep terrace ideal for garden tables and chairs and outside dining. The front garden is set back from the road with ample parking area and lawns to either side, fronted by a low brick wall. There is a garage with up and over door, and additional pedestrian door to the side.

This property was built by the current owners, and has never been on the open market since that time. It has been a much loved family home, well maintained, and also offers immense potential for various alterations and extensions, subject to the usual consents.

Whilst we are not surveyors, we understand the property to be of a brick and concrete block construction with cavity wall insulation, under a traditional tiled roof and benefits from double glazing windows and gas central heating.

Location: The property is located a few minutes' walk from Olivers Battery recreation ground with its playground, tennis/basketball courts and the open countryside; and falls within the enviable school catchment areas of both Olivers Battery and John Keble CofE Primary Schools, and Kings Senior School. This is a popular suburb of Winchester, with a parade of local shops, regular bus service, excellent schools; and there is a large Sainsburys supermarket, and doctors surgery nearby at Badger Farm.
