Harestock Road, Winchester, SO22

The Property:

This attractive period cottage provides excellent kerb appeal behind colour washed elevations, under a steep clay tiled roof with inset casement windows and is set back from a gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of upgrading and extension, and the property is beautifully presented. The principal reception spaces all provide a rear aspect overlooking the delightful gardens. The heart of the house is undoubtedly the kitchen/breakfast room, which was an extension and has a double aspect with a window and French doors that open onto the terrace. There are also two roof lights which make this space beautifully light, the kitchen has been fitted with a range of light grey base units with several taller units, as well as a fitted range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer. A centralised island unit has a butler sink and slimline quartz worktops above, with a breakfast counter to one side, although there is also space for a table. The dining room is open plan to the kitchen and there is a separate utility room. The sitting room has a bay that matches the dining room, whilst a family room could equally be used as a fourth bedroom, as there is an adjacent shower room.

To the first floor are two good double bedrooms and a comfortable single, with fitted wardrobes and a refitted bathroom. The gardens to the rear are a delight with a terrace directly behind the house graduating onto a lawn, flanked by deep herbaceous beds either side with a garden path. To the end of the garden is a lightly wooded area with a shed. The total plot measures 0.22 of an acre.

The Location:

Harestock Road offers excellent and easy access to the station, city, and countryside alike. Families are drawn to this area of Winchester due to the spacious plots, large floorplans and of course the proximity to both primary and secondary schooling as well as Peter Symonds VI Form College.

There are also excellent transport links to London by train or road and Southampton International Airport. The South Coast for sailing and the New Forest for walking and riding are all within an easy drive. A bus stop is situated just a three-minute walk away offering a frequent service to the City Centre. There are also lovely walks along the river Itchen, through The Water Meadows and St. Catherine's Hill.
