Burley Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

This well-proportioned, detached home was built in 1969 and has remained in the same family ever since. It is beautifully bright throughout and offers scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the relevant planning permissions. The house occupies an appealing position on this quiet road which is very popular for many reasons, particularly the proximity and easy access to local amenities and great school catchments (Harestock primary and Henry Beaufort secondary).

The welcoming entrance hall is a generous size and leads to all the downstairs accommodation. To the front of the property, the kitchen is fitted with an array of units with plenty of space for appliances. There is an excellent larder cupboard and a further understairs cupboard providing plenty of extra storage. Stretching across the rear of the house is a wonderfully light, large L-shaped, sitting/dining room, with two sets of double doors out to the rear garden and a gas fire inset within a feature fireplace. A door leads back to the entrance hallway and a downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are four good bedrooms, all of which are doubles. Three have useful built-in wardrobes and there is a family shower room and useful airing cupboard.

Outside to the front of the property there is a neat, open-plan garden alongside the driveway, which provides plenty of off-road parking leading to the garage. There is access via the garage to the beautifully maintained rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub borders, a small paved area to the rear of house and a handy garden shed.
