Although this period house in Winchester is attractive enough from the front and in perfect keeping with its neighbours, with ornate railings atop a brick wall and original sash windows, it is the extended rear and side return that really creates the wow factor that can only be appreciated on personal inspection.
Well positioned for access to the city centre, station, good schools and Peter Symonds, Brassey Road also has good connections to the local road network.
The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over three floors including a superb 18’ bedroom in the converted loft space with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony at the rear. On the first floor there are two good size bedrooms with attractive fireplaces; a third, single bedroom and the smart contemporary bathroom.
However, it really is the ground floor that is the show-stopper at this house with an extension to the rear and side return creating a superb open plan family area leading on from the kitchen. A range of cream units and grey quartz work surfaces give a highly contemporary feel and incorporate all necessary appliances plus microwave and wine cooler. Underfloor heating keeps the large space cosy in the winter and the bi-folding doors to the garden extend the living space still further in the warmer months.
Leading off the entrance hall at the front is a separate sitting room with a period fireplace and there is also a ground floor cloakroom.
The bi-folding doors open to a terrace across the rear of the house with a couple of wide steps up to the enclosed garden which is mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance and for a clutter-free contemporary look. There is a pedestrian gate at the rear and residents may apply for permit parking.
John Leeson, managing director of Belgarum in Winchester explains the star attraction: “This property is great because not only does it have a popular central Winchester address but the fantastic ground floor extension into the side return has created a brilliant social living space which has transformed this house.”
