This fabulously spacious house at Shawford sits perfectly at the end of a quiet road with no passing traffic and a gated access opens to a sweeping driveway, the house and grounds of just over three and a quarter acres. This is a great location with a belt of woodland and a wooden bridge over a tributary of the River Itchen towards the boundary yet this idyllic rural scene is within a short walk of the train station in Shawford and the local amenities with Winchester just a few minutes’ drive away.

Arundel is a superbly light and spacious home with a bright internal décor and a good layout providing entertaining space and relaxing family areas. The focus is firmly on the stunning kitchen which stretches to almost forty feet and therefore in addition to the smart work space there is also plenty of room for dining and relaxing, with French doors opening to a south easterly terrace where summer breakfasts can be enjoyed.

Three principal reception rooms include a drawing room with French doors to a covered veranda, a formal dining room and sitting room, with additional study and playroom.

From the lovely entrance hall the main staircase rises to the first floor where the landing branches off to four bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes. The master suite takes pride of place and has a stunning floor to ceiling window, a wall of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious bathroom with bath and separate shower.  There is also another delightful suite and a family bathroom.

A fifth bedroom with its own bathroom is accessed via a secondary staircase rising from a rear hallway, making this ideal for visiting friends or family.

Areas of paved terracing and lawns lie close to the house with lawns running away to woodland beyond. Also close to the house is a superb indoor swimming pool, with its own paved terrace to enjoy the summer sunshine.
