Thistledown Close, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

A delightful, modern and spacious home, situated in this well-regarded development, constructed in 2005 to a high specification throughout. The property enjoys an excellent position on the northern side of the city, very close to Waitrose, Aldi and the shops of Stoney Lane.

The property offers superbly balanced accommodation with effortless style and practicality. The heart of the house is the kitchen/dining room situated on the ground floor to the rear which has double doors out to the private garden. The kitchen itself offers ample base and eye-level units with integrated appliances including double oven, gas hob, extractor and dishwasher and plenty of space for table and chairs. The hallway provides access to both the WC and to an understairs cupboard, while one can also enter the integral garage from here. The rear of the garage has been adapted to provide a useful utility area with space and plumbing for a washing machine.

The wonderfully generous and welcoming sitting room is situated on the first floor and this has three individual doors out to the excellent office area. This room was previously a large balcony, now beautifully converted by the current owners and fully fitted with air conditioning/heating to create a wonderful place in which to work or relax. At the front of the property on this level there is a good double bedroom, currently used as family room, and a bright, fitted bathroom alongside. Stairs turn up to the second floor where three further bedrooms lie. Bedroom one is situated to the rear and is an excellent size, with the advantage of a smart en-suite shower room and double built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three lie to the front with bedroom two also having built-in storage.

There is private parking in front of the integral garage and a neat south-easterly facing patio garden at the rear which benefits from plenty of sunshine in good weather. There is gated access to a rear alleyway.
