Spacious five-bed Winchester property on the market for £1.35m

Winton Lea at 77 Andover Road is being marketed by Winkworth Winchester. 

The remodelled Edwardian home was formerly a laundry and has maintained plenty of original period features. 

It offers thoughtfully designed, spacious and practical accommodation in a very accessible and popular location. 

The property is entered via a useful covered porch into a spacious hallway with a downstairs cloakroom to the rear. The vintage front door features restored stained glass panels with original leaded glass. The ground floor is home to four separate reception rooms as well as a generous kitchen/dining room, providing versatile accommodation that can be configured to suit the owner's needs. 

To the left of the hall are two good-sized reception rooms, currently used as a study and music room, and the original front door provides external access to the side here. Further towards the rear is the largest reception room, a superb sitting room which is bathed in natural light courtesy of a wonderful, vaulted ceiling with roof lights and a large window to the side.

A multi fuel stove is inset within the fireplace, external French doors provide side access and glazed double doors lead through to the family room - another generous room with a box bay window giving views over the garden. This room can also be accessed from the hallway.

Beyond the sitting room, to the rear of the house, lies the bright kitchen/dining room. This sociable, triple-aspect space houses an attractive fitted kitchen with an array of base and eye level units. Integrated appliances include two ovens with grills, gas hob and dishwasher and space for further appliances. A handy larder cupboard with shelving and lighting provides plenty of practical storage while a utility cupboard houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. There is space for a large table and chairs in the dining area and bifold doors open onto to the garden.

The tandem style garage can be accessed internally from the hallway as well as by a door in the garden and can accommodate two vehicles. The expansive oak framed workshop that adjoins the garage at the rear is an excellent asset to the property and can provide further parking for two vehicles with space to spare, or be used for tools, garden furniture, or machinery, with its own door to the garden and additional storage above.

The first floor is equally impressive with five double bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged off the landing. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious with views over the garden, an en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower, and extensive integrated wardrobes. The four further bedrooms are all a good size with bedroom three having the advantage of a balcony overlooking the garden and bedrooms two and four featuring original period fireplaces. These four bedrooms are served by the generous family bathroom with both bath and shower.
