Otterbourne Road, Shawford, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21

This bespoke contemporary property, constructed circa 2016, is set back behind electric gates, offering ample off-road parking and a detached double garage.
Built to a high specification, the property provides flexible accommodation, with the added benefit of accommodation above the detached garage, which has been successfully rented via Airbnb in recent years, generating a comfortable income.

The house boasts a range of excellent features, including engineered oak flooring throughout the ground floor, with multi-zone underfloor heating. Two feature wood burners, bespoke double glazing, an orangery space, and a ceiling lantern in the entrance hall further enhance the appeal. The well-fitted kitchen, which forms part of the main reception/family area, includes a range of units with quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances. A conveniently located utility room leads off the kitchen, which also benefits from side access. The sitting room, overlooking the front garden, features a fireplace and a window seat. The study and orangery provide valuable additional living space, with the latter benefiting from bi-fold doors leading to the rear garden.

On the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to all four bedrooms. The principal and guest bedrooms each have contemporary en suites, both fitted with Fired Earth tiles and heated towel rails.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway, leading to an area with parking for approximately five vehicles. To the left, there is an attractive and secure double garage with timber bi-folding doors, along with a small garden area between the garage and the boundary. Pathways lead to the rear garden on either side of the house, both of which are gated for safety, making it ideal for young families.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and boasts a beautiful leafy backdrop, along with a lovely entertaining space directly off the kitchen and rear of the property. A hard-standing area is perfect for further entertaining or installing a hot tub.

The current owners have also installed a bespoke outside garden room with full networking and electricity making it ideal for working from home or as a further external snug room.
