Kynegils Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

A family home occupying a generous plot of around 0.45 acre.

Description

‘Hillfield’ was built in 1974 under the direction of the current owners, who then employed the architects practice of Burford, Marlow and Carden in Southgate Street, Winchester, who adopted a design very much in keeping with the late modernist/brutalist era. The design has stood the test of time very well, with an interior that allows for the abundance of natural light and a practicality which suits the demands of family living.

From a long gravelled driveway, Hillfield is set back from the Kynegils Road with a lovely elevated position affording an extended view to the rear. The driveway provides parking for several cars as well as access to the large double garage which in turn has generous amount of internal storage space and separate workshop.

From a welcoming covered porch area, the entrance hall is of a light and airy nature, with doors leading to a ground floor accommodation comprising: a study; kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room; a cloakroom/WC; a dining room with interlinking doors to a living room. The living room and dining room each have a view of the garden and sliding patio doors which lead onto the paved garden terrace. The first floor accommodation has four double bedrooms, each with high pitched ceilings, and two spacious bathrooms.

Outside, ‘Hillfield’ has a lovely sized plot of around 0.45 acres which has been landscaped around a central lawn, with shrub borders and a fruit and vegetable patch. The plot is quite private and has lovely extended views.

Location

‘Hillfield’ is ideally located within a wonderful tucked away position at the heart of this desirable residential area of Bereweeke, affording its elevated point and seasonal far reaching views. The area is popular with families and commuters, with the historic City centre, mainline railway station and excellent schools, all being within a convenient attractive walking distance. Access to the City or railway station can be somewhat shortened via the pedestrian gated access at the rear of the nearby Winchester Racquets and Fitness Club off Bereweeke Avenue, which in turn offers a wide range of facilities including outdoor tennis, paddle, squash, gym and fitness classes.

The property is extremely well located for a relative ease of access to the City’s full range of amenities, shops, restaurants, public houses, cinema, leisure centre and theatre. Furthermore, the local hub of Weeke, also offers a wide range of useful amenities and shops, including a range of take-aways, a Chemist, GP surgery, Waitrose and Aldi.

There are also excellent communications with access to the motorway network of the M3 at junctions 9 or 11, A34 to the north and the M27 coastal motorway. This provides access to the New Forest and Southampton International Airport.

On the education front, there are a number of highly regarded local schools, from the Weeke Primary (0.3 miles), Henry Beaufort secondary (1 miles) to the Peter Symonds College (0.8 miles), all of which are nearby.
