Built about eight years ago as part of an exclusive development, this very smart detached house has all the elements local purchasers have come to expect from highly regarded company Drew Smith. Thistledown Close, off Stockbridge Road, is superbly located for access to local shops and amenities on this north western fringe of Winchester including Waitrose, doctor’s surgery, a well-equipped recreation field and schools for all ages. Appealing to commuters is the easy run to the station with a fast service into Waterloo.

Ideally aimed at family occupation, the accommodation is versatile and adapts as the family evolves, the garden is surprisingly spacious, and there is plenty of parking at the front in addition to the integral garage.

An open plan kitchen has dining and relaxing space and is the perfect family room with doors opening to the garden. The kitchen has a fabulous range of units with built-in appliances and granite work surfaces with an impressive log burner in the family area. Also on the ground floor leading off the attractive entrance hall is a cloakroom with understairs storage, and a door into the garage.

The principal reception room takes pride of place on the first floor with a deep square bay window overlooking the garden at the side. The study on this floor could also be used as a double bedroom with a nearby shower room.

On the top floor there are three bedrooms, with the largest having secondary access to the family bathroom which has a bath and separate shower.

In addition to being a generous size, the garden also offers a good degree of privacy with a choice of seating areas and lawns across the side and wrapping around the side. A lovely studio has been created in the garden which has water, power and light laid on, giving potential for use as a home office, playroom or summer house.
