Highview House, Winchester Road, Fair Oak,

Presenting ‘Highview House’
A substantial and imposing, individually built, four-bedroom detached home in Fair Oak, on the market for the first time since 1999 and being offered with no forward chain.

This fantastic property represents a rare opportunity to create a truly spectacular home in a sought-after location, within walking distance of Stoke Park Woods, local amenities and family pubs and restaurants.

The property is in need of some modernisation throughout its nearly 2000 sq ft of accommodation. A brief overview of the space currently available begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a cloakroom with WC facilities, a kitchen, a useful study overlooking the front aspect through a beautiful bay window, and double doors opening into an expansive reception room. The large 27ft reception room presents an opportunity to create a more modern layout, potentially incorporating a new kitchen/diner across the rear of the home, overlooking the garden. Two conservatories provide additional space and may also present opportunities for future development, subject to the relevant planning permissions and permitted development rights due to their already existing status. A kitchen fitted with wall and base units, together with a useful utility room, completes the ground floor.

The first-floor features four double bedrooms, all accessed from a gallery-style landing. The principal bedroom benefits from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a separate WC and bathroom.

Externally, the property offers exceptional kerb appeal, with a portico entrance, a double-bay-windowed frontage at ground-floor level and beautiful wisteria across the front. A scenic front garden, featuring flower beds, shrub borders and mature fruit trees, surrounds a paved driveway offering ample off-road parking. A single garage, complete with power and lighting and accessed via an up-and-over door, completes the frontage.

The rear garden offers a degree of privacy rarely found locally. Fully enclosed, it overlooks privately owned fields to the rear and is predominantly laid to lawn, with a patio area. A large additional garage/storage building, situated on a hardstanding area and accessed via double doors, provides ample space for a large vehicle.

Previously known as ‘Grangehurst’, ‘Highview House’ reverted to its current name in 2006 under the ownership of its most recent owner, Dr Julian Gannaway, a well-known local figure. Dr Gannaway was a highly influential figure within the Radio Society of Great Britain, with several patents to his name, many of which remain confidential. He was also a leading figure in the development of the ‘Hawkeye’ system, which is used in sports around the world.

‘Highview House’ represents a rare opportunity to purchase a home offering versatile accommodation, outstanding potential and the foundations for a family home to last for generations.

Solicitors
Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is extremely important to ensure that you obtain an effective yet cost-efficient solution. The lure of supposedly cheaper on-line "conveyancing warehouse" style services can be very difficult to ignore when every penny counts but this is a route fraught with problems from our experience and we strongly urge you to avoid or at least compare other options. A local, established and experienced conveyancer will safeguard your interests and get the job done in a timely manner for all parties. Stanford Estate Agents can recommend several local firms of solicitors who have the necessary local knowledge, experience and communication expectations to provide a profession and personable service.
