Bedrooms: 5
The Property:
This modern detached house provides an excellent balance between living and bedroom space. The ground floor has a glazed open porch over a pair of doors that open into a spacious entrance hall, which is fitted with a riven slate floor and polished wooden seating, with storage below and stairs that rise to the first floor. The first class floorplan is laid out ideally for family living and entertaining alike and has a large open plan 'live in' style sitting/kitchen/dining room which is 33' x 29' overall and has the sitting room with a large side aspect window, fitted oak floor and a feature double sided centralised fireplace. This opens into the dining area which provides ample space for a large dining table, a window to the side aspect and grey aluminium sliding doors open onto the rear deck. The kitchen is fitted to two walls, with a range of dark fronted units topped with glass worktops and upstands and an impressive island unit with a gas hob, double ovens, American style fridge/freezer and dishwasher. An ingenious pair of doors open into a cleverly concealed utility/laundry/boiler room, which keeps the appliances out of the way. There are two further separate reception spaces; the first being a family room/snug, which is dual aspect, and bedroom five/the study, which could be used solely as a study space, with an adjacent shower room. The sitting/kitchen/dining room is heated by under floor heating. The stairs turn to the first floor with a side aspect window, providing plenty of natural light. All the bedrooms are double aspect, the largest principal bedroom having an ensuite shower room and a bank of fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two has a walk in wardrobe, which could become an ensuite if so desired. The remaining two double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and desks/dressing tables. There is a well-appointed bathroom with a window to the side aspect. Externally, there is a driveway for two large cars and a separate garage, whilst the garden to the rear has a deck directly behind the house, which graduates onto the lawn beyond which is a studio/home office. The garden faces west and has well stocked shrub borders. There are several lockable sheds as well as a log store.
The Location:
Whiteshute Lane is a quiet leafy lane within sought after St. Cross which is among one of the most desirable positions in central Winchester. Just to the south of the city, St. Cross is particularly well-known for its access to The Water Meadows and the pleasant walks both the city and country alike, encompassing the ancient parts of the city, the college and Cathedral. The property itself is in a very private position. The city centre and its amenities offer first class shopping, a varied range of restaurants, cinema, theatre, and sports centre. Communications are excellent, with the mainline railway station running a service to London Waterloo (approximately 60 minutes) and the M3, A34, A303 and M27 all easily accessible. Schools in Winchester are first class, with St. Faith's primary school nearby being highly sought after. There is a wide variety of further state and private schools in the area including Pilgrims and Winchester College a short walk away, Twyford School, Peter Symonds Sixth Form College in Fulflood and St. Swithun's School about two miles away.
Directions:
Proceed in a southerly direction from the city centre along Southgate Street which becomes St. Cross Road. Turn right into Lower Stanmore Lane and Whiteshute Lane will be found second turning on the left and the property will be found on the right-hand side.
