St. Cross Road, Winchester, SO23

The Property:
This well-proportioned property dates to 1860 and has family orientated accommodation behind a striking red brick façade with stucco quoining under a tiled roof. The property is set back from the pavement behind brick pillars with a pedestrian gate and a closely cropped hedge providing privacy into a front garden with mature shrubs and a path opening to the recessed porch. The welcoming entrance hall has plenty of storage, stripped and polished floorboards and a polished mahogany handrail that leads up the stairs to the first floor. The drawing room is to the front of the house and has a large bay window with tall windows, high ceilings with cornicing and an open fireplace, flanked by bespoke fitted cabinets and stripped and polished floorboards. The family/sitting room has a fireplace and is a cosier space with folding doors that open into the drawing room. An enlarged triple aspect kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of hand painted units, large AGA and a central island unit as well as an American style fridge/freezer. There is ample space for a good size dining table, creating excellent space for everyday living and entertaining. French doors open into the garden. The first floor has two double bedrooms, the larger having French doors and a small balcony. There is a bathroom and a shower room. The second floor is approached via a turning staircase which is flooded with natural light from the rear aspect window. A bathroom serves the remaining two double bedrooms.
The west facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped. The lower terrace has French doors opening from the kitchen and provides a private sheltered area, ideal for dining al fresco with steps onto a further raised terrace with mature shrubs. A modern studio is located at the end of the garden with oak bi-folding doors opening into a large oak floored reception with space to add a kitchenette if required. The studio, with its own double bedroom, sitting room and bathroom, was developed to provide a private space for visiting friends and family, although would provide excellent space for an au-pair or a home office/studio. At the rear of the garden, a pedestrian gate opens onto Edgar Road, where there is an up and over garage door to the store which is ideal for bicycles and general storage, and the residents on street permit parking.
