This Edwardian detached property is one of a kind, built to an intriguing design which was remodelled in the 1960s and which might now be suitable for another makeover to fit with contemporary lifestyles.

The location takes some beating, about a mile south of Winchester in St Cross where St Faith’s Road in particular is highly sought after for a number of reasons including having access to the water meadows and a pleasant walk into the city, the fascinating period buildings in the area, proximity to St Cross Church and the highly regarded St Faith’s primary school.

The property has many attractions, not least the spacious accommodation of about 2880 square feet, the south facing gardens and off road parking in addition to a detached double garage.

The house is hugely versatile and is suitable for single storey living with the majority of the rooms on the ground floor but with two double bedrooms, a bathroom, two cloakrooms and four loft storage rooms upstairs.

The ground floor is currently arranged as three reception rooms, a large double bedroom with en suite bathroom, study, kitchen, utility and cloakroom all leading off a lengthy hallway.

The gardens run along the southern flank and are predominantly paved with mature hedging and planting. A driveway leads along the boundary to a double garage which has an attached sun room and garden store.

Savills says this is an opportunity to improve a unique property and to create something to suit individual lifestyles.

A guide price of £895,000 is quoted and further information is available from Savills. Contact the Winchester office on 01962 841842
