What must be one of the last opportunities to modernise a detached character house near the station in Winchester has just come to the market for sale with Hamptons International.  This superb 1930s house is hugely appealing with generous size living space and set back off the Stockbridge Road behind a 70 ft garden with a similar size garden to the rear. This elevated position is perfect for those who wish to take advantage of all the city amenities and, heading in the opposite direction, there are also excellent local shops.

Many original features have withstood the test of time and no doubt a purchaser would want to carefully weave contemporary aspects around much of the architectural detailing both inside and out. There is also the prospect of an extension perhaps to enable a configuration to meet modern lifestyles.

The reception hall is impressive and has doors to all ground floor rooms including a formal dining room with a bay window at the front and a sitting room at the rear which has a walk-in square bay with a door to the garden. Both these rooms have fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and there is a door to a side lobby and cloakroom

A feature staircase rises to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, a family shower room and a cloakroom.

The gardens are a principal feature of this property and there is a driveway and footpath at the front with a variety of mature shrubs and trees around the sloping lawn.

At the rear the garden is divided into two sections with the first providing a traditional outside space with a lawn surrounded by well stocked shaped beds. A row of conifers divides the working area of the garden behind which are old vegetable beds and a timber shed.

An asking price of £900,000 is quoted by Hamptons International and an Open Day has been arranged on Saturday 14 May with interested parties invited to call to make an appointment. Call Hamptons on 01962 842030.
