Sarum Road, Winchester, SO22

Available for the first time in fifty years, the charming family home offers versatile and well-proportioned living accommodation set across two floors.

To the ground floor, an entrance porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall linking to a front aspect sitting room with bay window and a superb, double aspect drawing room with French doors opening onto the front terrace. Both of these rooms enjoy a light, southerly orientation and further benefit from open fireplaces and views of the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is open to the double aspect dining room and offers an excellent entertaining space, with a door opening out onto the rear terrace and garden.

Further rooms to this level include a study, utility/boot room, cloakroom and a garden room, which can be accessed externally.

To the first floor, a split landing area links to the main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are built-in storage facilities to three of the bedrooms, with all of the first floor rooms benefitting from elevated views.

NB. Set to the side of the property is a large area of garden offering significant potential for a substantial side extension or detached garage complex (Subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).

Outside

The wonderfully established grounds feature a variety of specimen trees and planting and total in excess of 0.5 acres.

To the front aspect, two five bar gates open onto a gravel driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and a lawned garden flanked by beautifully planted borders.

A large area of side garden offers potential for additional accommodation and leads round to the rear garden and a paved sun terrace adjoining the back of the house.

The rear garden is of particular note, being mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with attractive planted borders. This area has been cleverly apportioned into different areas of interest and features a kitchen garden/organic area, established fruit trees and a small wildlife pond. Established tree and hedgerows define the boundaries with an adjoining field and open countryside to the rear.
Set within the rear garden are two useful garden sheds and a greenhouse alongside the kitchen garden.

Situation

Occupying an exceptional, elevated position in a private, rural setting, this wonderful home affords access to the many local walks including the nearby Clarendon Way and Farley Mount.

The property is a short distance from the city centre (1.8 miles) and all the benefits that the compact, lively city of Winchester offers, including a theatre, cinema, leisure centre, museums, cathedral and many restaurants, bars and shops.

The railway station is 2 miles away and offers access to London Waterloo (approximately 1 hour). The M3 offers excellent road access to London and the national motorway network.
