Capturing far reaching country views to the South Downs above Winchester, a mature and individual detached family house with grounds including paddocks extending to 1.73 acres (0.7 hectare)

● 3 good sized reception rooms ● Kitchen, utility & cloakroom ● 4 double bedrooms inc. en-suite ● Sun balcony & galleried hall ● Double garage with outbuildings ● Lawned gardens + 2 paddocks DESCRIPTION To be sold for the first time since new in circa 1974 having been built by the current family, the house has a distinctive style and roofline combining traditional cavity construction with a hand cut multiple pitched roof. Farmlands lends itself to updating and potential enlargement subject to the necessary planning/building consents. The overriding characteristics are both the room dimensions and the elevated set back location off a small country lane with far stretching views over undulating countryside to the South West with the horizon including Cheesefoot Head.

Features include an open fireplace in the lounge, woodblock floor to the reception hall, maple effect units with satin chrome finished handles and soft closing units to the kitchen/breakfast room and utility room, part coved ceilings and several wardrobes and eaves cupboards to the bedrooms. A walk-in airing cupboard and expansive loft with fitted ladder and light are useful adjuncts. Heating is via a Worcester Danesmoor 20/25 oil boiler with the majority of the property having double glazing including several newer replacement uPVC windows. The long tarmac style drive progresses past the double garage with a track leading to the widening double paddock and stables (needing renovation) beyond the rear garden. www.wprhomes.co.uk
