A FIVE-BED detached house in a Winchester suburb is on the market.
The property at 83 Oliver’s Battery Road South is being sold by Winkworth Winchester for £900,000.
Offered with no forward chain, this substantial detached family home totals 2,200 sq ft and sits on a plot of more than 0.25 acres in the popular area of Oliver’s Battery. The property is in need of complete modernisation and lends itself to further extension, subject to the relevant planning permissions. The house benefits from a good level of natural light to the front in the morning and to the rear in the evening, due to the east-west aspect.
The property is entered via a covered porch into the welcoming hallway which gives access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. To one side of the hall is a large sitting room with a fireplace and lovely bay window to the front. The dining/family room is a very impressive size and is light courtesy of its dual aspect, with double doors opening up onto the sun room beyond. The sun room itself is bright and airy and has a door leading out to the rear garden.

The kitchen is a good size with views over the garden. Fitted units provide plenty of storage and there is space for appliances, along with a substantial larder cupboard providing a considerable amount of further storage. A utility area with downstairs cloakroom is situated off the kitchen with a door giving external access to the side of the house. A study and further reception room to the front of the property complete the accommodation on this level.
Stairs rise to the first floor where there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom, as well as an additional toilet. The principal bedroom in particular is an impressive size with a bay window to the front. The four further bedrooms are all a good size with considerable eaves storage in bedrooms four and five. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, toilet, bidet and hand basin. Alongside the bathroom is a store that was historically a second bathroom and could be converted back if desired.
The rear garden is large and secure, bordered by mature hedgerows and trees offering peace and privacy. The garden is mostly laid to lawn but has a swimming pool (currently not used but can be recommissioned) and a paved path leading to the rear. The house is nicely set back from the road behind the front garden and generous driveway with off street parking for multiple vehicles.
