Victoria Cottages, Andover Road, Micheldever Station, Winchester

2 Victoria Cottages is a stunning home, a perfect
example of village living with the character and
history to match. The home has been lovingly
restored and refurbished to a very high standard
with some beautiful examples of British design
and Craftsmanship.

One of Sir Edwin Lutyens designs, the Grade II listed home has echoes of Gertrude Jekyll's home Munstead Wood with the tile hung gable end and red brick chimney stacks so unique in their design. The windows have all been restored and repainted in Little Green’s ‘Sir Lutyens’ Sage Green’ as a very
fitting tribute.

The accommodation is spacious and bright
throughout with a bespoke solid wood kitchen
and doors onto the immaculate rear garden. The
adjoining dining room has an excellent array of
cupboards and space for a sizeable table. The
sitting room to the front of the house overlooks
the well-stocked front garden. An abundance
of roses and lavender frame the view across
the village. A pretty WC with Liberty wallpaper
completes the ground floor.

Taking the historic staircase to the first floor,
the bedrooms each have charming views of
the garden or across the village. The principal
bedroom has an en suite shower room with
sumptuous marble tiles and underfloor heating
and the other two bedrooms are beautifully
decorated to an extremely high standard. The
first floor is completed by a spacious family
bathroom with a roll top bath and feature
handmade tiles.

The garden to the front of the house is a
gardeners dream with an abundance of
stunning roses and lavender borders. The whole
garden has been lovingly re-designed by the
current owners in the style of Gertrude Jekyll
as a tribute to her partnership with Lutyens
throughout his career. The current owners have
also built a home office in the rear garden which
adds an exceptional opportunity to work from
home or re-purpose as a yoga studio or gym,
depending on your needs.
