St Michaels Gardens, St Cross

THE PROPERTY 11 St Michael's Gardens is set within a prestigious development of just fifteen properties, believed to have been built around the early 1980s. As well as being one of the larger townhouses in this development, it also has the benefit of a corner plot garden, offering seclusion and privacy, and has exquisite far reaching views to Winchester College.

The front door leads into a welcoming hallway which benefits from a cloakroom and a study, and opens into a spacious dining/living room. This is usefully fitted with a range of cupboards and has glazed double doors to the front of the property. Towards the back of the property is a well-fitted and extended kitchen/breakfast room, flooded with light courtesy of a glass roof ceiling, and a side to the garden. From the kitchen, there is a door into a useful utility area, which has a sink, the gas fired boiler, a door to the garden, and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The first floor landing leads through to the double aspect gracious sitting room, with large full-length windows with attractive wrought iron railings, offering the most incredible views to the Friary Bowling Club and pavilion and across to the roofline of Winchester College and its chapel. Whilst this has been designed to be a sitting room, it could also be used as further bedroom if required.

The principal bedroom is double aspect and is fitted with a range of wardrobe cupboards, and also features a large window with wrought iron railings overlooking the front gardens. There is an ensuite bathroom featuring a wc, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.

On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms, one of which benefits from fitted cupboards, and the family bathroom.

Being on the end of the terrace, this property benefits from a larger than average garden on the development, the majority of which has a southerly aspect, with a useful side access gate. It is wonderfully secluded, and designed to be as low maintenance as possible. It is largely paved with raised flower beds and mature shrubs, hedging and trees, large shed and and a small garden pond. To the front of the property, there is parking for 2-3 cars. No11 also has the ownership and responsibility of all the planted area and parking to front right hand side of the property.

Whilst this property could benefit from some updating and modernisations, its size, location and outlook make it one of the most enviably located properties on the market today.
