Oaklands Close, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

This handsome and spacious detached house was originally built in the 1970s, although has subsequently been extended by the current owners to produce the well-balanced accommodation on offer today. The property boasts an abundance of natural light throughout and provides an excellent array of reception spaces on the ground floor and four bedrooms on the first floor.

The welcoming entrance hall leads left into a generous sitting room with an attractive bay window to the front, inset wood burning stove and double doors opening onto the orangery at the rear. The orangery itself is lovely and light courtesy of its triple aspect and large roof lights - an ideal place to relax with a drink and admire the views of the garden. A door gives access to the patio. Leading from the sitting room is a good-sized study with views over the garden. To the right of the hallway is the spacious, open-plan, kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is sleek and well equipped with fitted units providing plenty of storage and space for appliances. Two windows overlook the garden and a door gives access to the side of the house and onward to the garage and garden. The dining room leads from the kitchen and has plenty of space for a table and chairs with a window onto the front garden. A smart downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the bedrooms radiate from the wonderful, bright, central landing. The principal bedroom is an excellent size with built-in storage and a modern en-suite shower room. The three remaining bedrooms all benefit from built-in storage and are served by a spacious family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.

Outside there is off street parking on the driveway in front of the detached double garage, which has a useful utility room adjoining it with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The generous well-maintained front garden is mainly laid to lawn. A gate between the house and garage gives access to the attractive rear garden where a paved patio area lies to the rear of the orangery creating a perfect outdoor dining area, with the remainder of the garden laid to lawn with pretty flower, shrub and tree borders.
