Halls Farm Close, Winchester

THE PROPERTY An attractive, extended detached four-bedroom home with versatile accommodation, set in a secluded cul-de-sac on the much sought-after Halls Farm Close development on the edge of Harestock.

Berwick Cottage is the original Farm Manager's cottage from when the area was still agricultural and known as Halls Farm. The property is approached along a private drive (shared with two other homes) and parking is on a gravel area to the front.

Enter into the main hallway which runs front to back and provides access to the rear garden. The hall is brightly lit from a glass lantern ceiling and most of the main rooms open from it. A recent extension has created a spacious double bedroom downstairs, with a contemporary shower room/WC..

To the right of the hallway is the good-sized living room, featuring a working open fireplace with wooden surround and attractive parquet flooring. A door leads to a small hall which provides exterior access to the side of the property and leads through to the Dining room. This is a pleasing space with a bright dual aspect and polished solid wood floor.

The kitchen is well fitted with a range of Shaker-style cream storage units and utilities, with space for a large freestanding fridge freezer, a tiled floor and a range cooker with a ceramic hob. A large pantry provides further storage, and a large window gives views over the back garden.

Across the hallway is the utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dryer.

Upstairs there are two very light double bedrooms, both with dual aspects, plus a large single bedroom, all served by a modern family bathroom. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and windows overlooking the garden.

Exterior and Garden: The property was constructed in the 1950's and features mellow brick elevations, dormer windows and a central chimney stack under a steeply pitched tiled roof.

The front and rear gardens are securely fenced with new 6-foot panels and are mainly laid to lawn, with attractive flower beds, garden storage and a small summer house.

Off street parking on the gravel driveway for at least two vehicles.
