Bereweeke Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

This handsome property exemplifies style and presence. Built in the 1930s, the impressive home is of good quality and size, with lovely architectural touches such as the recessed porch and veranda at the front, and the multi-paned casement windows adding to the appeal. The accommodation is well-presented, offering three spacious ground-floor reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms on a beautiful circa 0.4-acre plot.

The house is supremely well-positioned in the Bereweeke area of Winchester, offering a family home in a central location. It is a 0.8-mile walk to the train station and just under a mile to the city centre. Winchester Racquets and Fitness is moments down the road and there are three excellent state secondary schools within 1.5 miles, along with respective primary and nursery schools.

The property boasts well-balanced living accommodation offering excellent versatility for modern family life. Downstairs, the large central hall, accessed via the outer porch, leads to the reception areas. Features include original 1930s doors and attractive archways through to the kitchen and stairs, mirrored by a third central arch for display purposes. The attractive tiled floor has underfloor heating flowing through to the kitchen. To the front, the generous study/family room has a feature fireplace bordered by original arches either side and is lovely and light courtesy of its double aspect. To the other side of the hall, the sitting room is a substantial, bright room with an open fireplace, large windows to the side and original casement windows to the front with double doors opening onto the veranda. The kitchen/dining room lies to the rear and features a stunning Smallbone bespoke kitchen with fitted units providing ample storage. Integrated appliances include twin ovens, a microwave combi oven, fridge/freezer, induction hob and dishwasher. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs and a comfortable seating area. A useful utility cupboard has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and an exterior rear door gives access to the patio and garden. A downstairs WC, accessed from the hallway, completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

The staircase leading to the first floor is flooded with natural light from tall windows with a lovely view over the rear garden. There are an impressive four double bedrooms on the first floor, as well as two bathrooms. Of particular note is the lovely principal bedroom with two double built-in wardrobes and a superb en-suite shower room with large walk-in shower. The three further bedrooms are all doubles and are served by the contemporary family bathroom with bath and separate shower. There are two built in cupboards on the landing as well as access to the large loft, providing substantial further storage space.

The wonderfully mature gardens are a super feature of this lovely property. A large front garden ensures the house sits well back from the road and is therefore private and imposing. Alongside the front garden is a generous driveway allowing parking for up to six cars. Keen gardeners will enjoy the well-maintained vegetable patch to the right of the house while to the rear is a good size patio and the remainder laid to lawn, wrapping around to the left. There are several specimen trees including apple, pear, cherry and plum and a brick built shed provides storage for garden furniture and tools.
