Sleepers Hill, Winchester

THE PROPERTY Elegant family home, built by Alfred Homes and designed by the renowned Winchester architect, the late Huw Thomas. It is set in the heart of Sleepers Hill, tucked away and secluded, with the main house enjoying four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, plus the added benefit of a self contained studio annexe running across the top of the double garage.

The front door opens into a gracious and welcoming hallway fitted with a wealth of shoe and coats cupboards, and featuring a sweeping staircase with oak oval handrails, French polished to match the oak flooring on the ground floor.

However, your eye is immediately drawn straight through to the impressive and beautifully presented living/kitchen/dining room, which runs the width of the property, with full length bifold doors leading out to the garden.

This kitchen/breakfast room is clearly the hub of this home, with ample space for a large dining table, and sofas. It has been fitted with hand painted shaker style cabinetry, under a stone worktop. There is a deep centre island and breakfast bar built in a contrasting finish, fitted with a ceramic sink, featuring a Quooker Fusion tap. There is a wealth of Miele appliances, a Falcon range cooker and full length wine fridge. Further bespoke cabinetry includes a specially designed media unit, creating a comfortable living room area, and the room is further enhanced with glorious chandelier lighting over the centre island and dining table area. The bifold doors have each been fitted with electric roller blinds, and there is a deep remote controlled awning which stretches the depth of the garden terrace, shielding the kitchen from sunshine when required.

The study has been fitted with a wall of shelves and cupboards, and has windows to the front and side of the property. There is a spacious cloakroom, and useful utility room, which has a side door to the drive.

On the first floor, there is a charming galleried landing enhanced by a striking cascading chandelier illuminating the centre of the property from the ground floor to the 2nd floor. From here, glazed double doors lead to the sitting room, which has been fitted with further bespoke cabinetry from Charles Yorke, and featuring illuminated glass cabinets and a fitted bar area with refrigerator. A deep window seat has been created with further bookshelves to either side, under a large sash window. However the focal point of the room is the striking limestone fireplace fitted with a gas effect fire.

Wooden double doors lead into the principal bedroom which has a large dressing room beautifully fitted with floor to ceiling hanging, shelving and drawers. Our client has added a 'floating wall' behind which is an additional wall of wardrobes and dressing table area. The luxurious bathroom has a large walk in shower, free standing roll top bath, and double basins inset into a vanity unit.

There is a further double bedroom, and large bathroom with fitted linen cupboard on this floor.

On the second floor, there are two double bedrooms, each with ensuite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes.

Outside, double electric wooden gates open to the driveway, and ample parking areas. The rear garden has been landscaped to be as low maintenance as possible, from where there are steps leading up to a large studio room/annexe with shower room, ideal for guest accommodation, home office or games room.

The driveway leads down to a pair of garages, which have remote controlled doors, and fitted with power and light. In front of the garages is a deep paved area, ideal for playing basketball, and also has an electric car charging point.
