Sitting in a peaceful close of just a handful of properties at the top of St Giles Hill on the eastern reaches of Winchester, this well proportioned family home will appeal to a wide range of purchasers. The location is attractive due to the proximity of the city’s amenities below, access to excellent road networks, superb choice of schools in the area and the genteel nature of this residential area with wonderful open parkland with views over the city.

The welcoming entrance hall opens to a dual aspect sitting room which connects with a spacious dining room. The third reception room is ideal as a study, playroom or snug depending on lifestyle. The kitchen/breakfast room, although not to the latest design, is well fitted and has plenty of space for a breakfast table and is sensibly arranged with access to the garden. It is easy to imagine, with some internal remodelling, that the study might be incorporated into the kitchen to create a more contemporary open plan family space.

Five bedrooms are arranged off the first floor galleried landing, the largest with its own bathroom, and there is also a family bathroom on this floor with a cloakroom downstairs.

Set well back from the road, trees and shrubs screen the front of the house and a wide driveway accesses the attached double garage. The garden to the rear is also secluded with a patio to the rear of the sitting room and a tiered lawn with pretty borders.

From Northbrook Close there is an abundance of attractive countryside within walking distance including the South Downs Way, the Water Meadows and St Catherine’s Hill, so it’s welly boots on at the back door and off you go.
