Room with a view

This substantial and beautifully presented family home offers fabulous living space plus a good deal more.

With origins from the 1930s, the house has in recent years been imaginatively extended to produce a home which includes spacious, modern areas to be enjoyed by the family. There are plenty of open plan reception spaces, allowing for sociable living but also with separate areas for quieter times.

Families with children will love the attractive garden, and the quiet, private road on which the house sits as well as the beautiful countryside right on the doorstep.

The house is immensely bright internally, with the liberal use of windows and skylights which maximise the natural light. Appealing touches are everywhere, from the atmospheric use of up-lighters in the kitchen/family area to the lovely oak flooring to much of the ground floor. The house is beautifully presented with a tasteful, muted colour scheme throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall gives a taste of what is to come, with lots of glass either side of the front door to maximise the light, and with a beautiful oak floor. The double-length sitting room is an elegant and inviting room, with two attractive open fireplaces and a large bow window overlooking the front westerly aspect and the fields beyond.

The heart of this wonderful house is the impressive open plan kitchen where a well planned work space has built-in appliances, a central island as a breakfast bar and extensive units with Corian work surfaces. The dining area is perfect for family meals as well as relaxed dining with friends and a comfortable seating zone near the glazed doors at the rear is perfect for a view over the garden with a further family relaxing space at the front of the house accessed via a couple of steps from the kitchen. Both these seating areas have floor to ceiling glazed doors maximising the east and westerly views. There is also a large utility/boot room.

The accommodation on the first and second floors perfectly balances the house with three double bedrooms and two beautiful bathrooms on the first floor, the master suite being particularly attractive with a balcony to the front. Another superb suite upstairs includes a large bathroom.

Decked areas to the front and rear are perfect for enjoying the pretty garden or the far reaching views over fields. The rear garden is attractively laid out with lawns and established shrubs leading through to a detached studio at the far end. There is plenty of private parking with this superb house at Westview Road on the outskirts of Winchester.
