INTRODUCTION

Originally dating back to the 1930’s and then having been thoughtfully extended, this deceptively spacious detached family home enjoys a secluded position within the very heart of this popular village and within only a short walk from Stoke Park Woods and the River Itchen. The house has a lovely light and airy feel throughout and also comes with the additional benefit of a driveway providing parking for several vehicles, a larger than average, well stocked mature rear garden, workshop, summerhouse and covered swimming pool with bi-folding doors overlooking the patio area. Internally the house has a an 18ft sitting with veined marble fireplace, family room, dining room, cloakroom and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. On the first floor there are then three double bedrooms, the master of which has a dressing room and is ensuite along with a separate, modern shower room.  With everything that this wonderful family home has to offer and the flexibility it has for a growing family, an early viewing is undoubtably a must.
