The 200 feet of garden behind this period semi-detached house is something of a surprise and certainly a delight. Cranworth Road is well situated for those who want to be within walking distance of a host of amenities as well as Winchester’s city centre and mainline train station. Excellent local schools including Western Primary, Westgate Secondary and Peter Symonds College are all within a few minutes’ walk of this lovely home.

Classically proportioned, this house will appeal to those looking for generous room sizes and a good layout for families. The entrance hall is welcoming and the reception room at the front of the house is currently arranged as a formal dining room. The sitting room sits behind and leads through to the extended kitchen, via a lobby area. The kitchen and sitting room both have double doors to the garden and there is space in the kitchen to enjoy breakfast and relaxed family mealtimes. There is also storage and a cloakroom off the lobby area.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms of varying sizes from a large double room at the front taking in the bay window and a whole wall of built-in wardrobes, to a neat single room. The family bathroom is on this level and a loft conversion has created a further double bedroom with windows to the front and rear and eaves storage.

The fantastic rear garden is a real surprise, with unusually generous proportions for a home this close to the city centre. The garden has been divided into various areas with a relaxing sitting space close to the house and lawns leading through to vegetable plots, fruit trees and a timber shed. The side access means that it is easy to get bikes out or dispose of garden waste after an industrious day spent outside.
