THE PROPERTY Beautifully extended contemporary family home set in almost half an acre plot, and with enviable far reaching views across to the South Downs.
The property is set back from the road with front lawns, detached double garage, and large driveway, all within an attractive curved brick wall. The welcoming hallway leads to all main downstairs rooms. However, your eye is immediately drawn past these and through to the living room/kitchen/dining room which has underfloor heating and has been exquisitely extended to create a stunning living space, infused with light from a wall of glass and doors overlooking the gardens and far-reaching views into the distance beyond.
The Searle and Taylor kitchen has been imaginatively designed with bespoke cabinetry to incorporate different materials offering a contemporary Scandi-theme with deep centre island under pendant lighting, offset with modern units to give a wonderfully restful theme throughout. There is a wealth of fitted appliances including two Miele ovens, induction hob with integrated extractor fan, two dishwashers, a Quooker tap, wine fridge, and full length Siemens fridge and Liebherr freezer. The kitchen area flows around into the dining area and into the large living room/play room which has an open chimney ideal for woodburning stove.
From the hallway, is the sitting room/snug, with charming bay window overlooking the front garden. Across the hall, is a large study, also overlooking the front garden, fitted with a desk area with a wealth of attractive shelving and cupboards.
There is a cloakroom, and large shower/utility room fitted with numerous cupboards and features stylish pull down drying racks. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a large walk in shower.
On the first floor, there is a large attractive galleried landing overlooking the hallway below. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden, and benefits from two double wardrobe cupboards. From here, a door leads into the recently refitted shower room which features a large walk in rainfall shower, and basin inset into an attractive vanity unit.
There are four further double bedrooms, most of which have built in wardrobes. The luxurious family bathroom has been beautifully fitted with an attractive soft curved edged bath, with a large rainfall shower and folding glass panelled screen. There are twin basins, with black powder coated contemporary taps, and inset into bespoke vanity units.
Outside, the plot is just under half an acre with the rear garden having a porcelain paved terrace leading onto a large expanse of lawn, with shrub borders to either side. Beyond the gardens there are enviable and far reaching views across to the South Downs.
The property is located within the area of St Giles Hill, where there are superb walks and views across to Winchester Cathedral. It is close to All Saints CofE Primary School, and falls within catchment of Westgate Senior School and Peter Symonds 6th form college. The house is beautifully located for an easy walk to both St Swithuns Girls School and both Pilgrims and Winchester College. Twyford and Princes Mead Preparatory Schools are also just a short drive away.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The property has solar panels on the roof, which offset much of the electricity costs at the property, and the surplus of which is paid at an enviably high rate from the grid.
There is also existing planning permission for replacement of the front bay window, recladding of the front of the property and to enclose the open porchway to make a larger entrance hallway within planning permission granted for this and the ground floor works (part of which has now been completed) 21/00550/HOU or PP-09570772
In 2020, the owners were granted planning permission to develop the double garage to the front of the property to create an annexe. Whilst this date has now expired, it could potentially be reapplied for by a future buyer. Winchester City Council reference 20/00471/hou or ref PP-08554780.
