This period property is well designed and has bold architectural features and an interesting layout with large sash windows providing ample natural light and striking bay windows adding to the dimensions of the principal rooms.

Sympathetically restored, this traditional house in New Road at Colden Common has retained many original features and offers the best of both worlds.

The ground floor is dominated by the superb open plan kitchen which is fitted with contemporary units and has plenty of space for dining and relaxing, with stripped wooden floors having underfloor heating, and opening to the south westerly aspect of the garden. On the other side of the large entrance hall is a superb sitting room with a wood burning stove and bay windows providing recesses for furniture. There is plenty of space in the hall for coat and shoe storage and a cloakroom lies at the rear.

The stairs rise to a split level landing which branches off to three bedrooms, the large master bedroom at the front. The family bathroom is superb with Villeroy & Boch fittings including a bath and separate shower.

Colden Common has its own identity with a good range of local amenities and is also within easy reach of Winchester to the north. There are excellent road connections and commuters can catch the train at nearby Shawford.

The gardens lie on a roughly east/west axis and at the front there are well tended raised vegetable beds, shielded from view by mature hedgerows with gravel pathways giving access to all sides. The entrance door lies to the side and at the rear is a thoughtfully laid out garden which captures the midday and afternoon sunshine. The terrace at the rear of the house is perfect for relaxing on summer evenings and a gate at the rear opens to off street parking, with plenty of storage also provided.
