Bereweeke Avenue, Winchester, Hampshire, SO22

A classically designed, detached family home occupying a private and peaceful location within an impressive plot, 0.8 miles of the railway station and city centre.

Description

This elegant, detached family home, designed by a renowned local architect and built by Alfred Homes in 2016, is a classically inspired property with a private gated entrance from Bereweeke Avenue. The house is beautifully appointed, with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light throughout. There are four luxurious double bedrooms, a detached double garage, landscaped gardens and parking for several vehicles.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall with excellent storage. From here, double doors open into the spacious family living and dining area, where a striking roof lantern floods the space with natural light. The bespoke Charles Yorke kitchen, finished in a contemporary handle-less style with high-quality materials and a glass splashback, integrates seamlessly into this open-plan space. There are a range of built in Miele appliances, including an induction hob, double oven and wine cooler. Bi-folding doors connect the room to a private terrace, creating a wonderful flow between indoors and outdoors. A separate sitting room, complete with a limestone fireplace and doors to the garden, provides a more formal living space. A utility room with garden access and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor has a generous landing with space for a study area. The principal bedroom includes bespoke fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room. The guest bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite. A further double bedroom and a family bathroom are also located on this floor. The top floor is home to a fourth double bedroom with its own adjacent shower room.

Outside
The house is approached through electric gates with a secure entry system and a private driveway with discreet lighting, leading the way to large parking area and a double detached garage. The front of the property has recently been re-landscaped to create easy and practical access to the house and garaging.

Surrounding the house is an Indian sandstone paving which has been cleverly designed to create a choice of sunny terraces and ‘outside rooms’ to entertain or relax in the summer months. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and has been expertly landscaped with a variety of flowering plants, shrubs and mature trees for screening. The sense of privacy and complete tranquillity is surprising given the properties location within Winchester city, and offers a relaxing retreat, and generous spaces for families to enjoy all year round.

Tucked behind the garage is a newly constructed outbuilding with electricity and lighting, currently utilised as storage for garden tools. One could easily adapt the building to create a workshop, gymnasium or studio.
