Stockers Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

This substantial and impressive detached house is beautifully situated in Stockers Avenue, one of Winchester’s sought-after locations and is set on circa 0.5 acre plot.

This property has well-proportioned living accommodation together with large bright spaces that are flooded with an abundance natural light. The spacious and welcoming entrance hall has a convenient downstairs shower room to the right and leads through to the internal hallway which provides access to all the downstairs accommodation. To the front of the property is the kitchen with fitted base and eye level units and in turn this leads through to the dining room with patio doors providing access to the garden. Adjoining the dining room is the generous sitting room with a lovely wood burner, dual aspect windows and patio doors to the garden. The double garage can be accessed via an internal door and a useful storage area is located to the back of the garage.

Stairs rise to the first floor where five bedrooms radiate from the landing. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and built in wardrobes. Bedrooms two, three and four are all a good size and benefit from built-in wardrobe space. Bedroom five could be used as a study if so desired and has a great view from the window. A family bathroom to the front of the house with bath and shower over completes the first-floor accommodation. A staircase to the large loft area that spans the length of the house is hidden behind a door on the landing and this provides great potential for a loft conversion, subject to planning permission, or simply using as it currently is an easily accessible storage space.

The property is very attractively and privately set back beyond a large driveway providing ample parking and is flanked by a lawn area. Gates to both sides of the property lead through to the extensive tiered garden which is both private and mature with shrubs lining the borders around the large lawn. A large patio stretches across the rear of the house and is perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the outlook over the garden.

Planning permission has been obtained by renowned local architect T2 Architects to build a separate detached dwelling within the grounds of the property and to extend and refurbish the existing dwelling. Please find below the information
