5 bedroom detached house

NO CHAIN
This striking, modern eco-friendly family house has been superbly enlarged to combine effortless style with practical substance in equal degree, positioned between adjoining fields and open country towards the end of a no through road in the very popular village of Compton. The contemporary façade to the front and rear is partially timber clad to produce a variation of traditional and contemporary styles; the property also benefits from triple glazing throughout, underfloor heating in the kitchen/diner and the potential for high-speed broadband. The property has been designed to create a beautiful, bright home for a large family to enjoy. This feat has been admirably achieved, with superb open-plan, sociable family spaces married with more private, intimate rooms for those wanting a secluded retreat. The house has an excellent balance between reception spaces with a superb rear two storey extension housing a simply stunning large, open plan kitchen/dining/ family room with bi-fold doors to the rear garden. On the ground floor the accommodation also comprises a large sitting room with front aspect, study with front aspect, WC, utility room and a most welcoming entrance hall from the front entrance. Additionally, there is an excellent gym room and adjoining shower room to the right-hand side of the property with potential to be used as an additional bedroom. The first floor has five double bedrooms with an en-suite shower room to the main bedroom and a family bathroom. The rear portion of the house, both upstairs and downstairs have fantastic far-reaching views towards Compton Down over adjoining paddocks. The gardens and grounds are a wonderful feature of the property with a large area of lawn, mature trees, shrubs and overall colour complementing the mature position. There are many areas designed for 'al-fresco' entertaining. There is direct access via a gate from the garden to fields and woodland for extensive local walks and also a home office in the garden with power and internet connection for home working or as a garden studio. The overall plot size has been measured at approximately 0.5 of an acre.

Compton is a sought-after village, only a ten-minute drive to historic Winchester, with a church, a village hall and a recreation area and forms the Parish of Compton and Shawford. Once England’s ancient capital city, Winchester has more comprehensive facilities which include independent shops and boutiques, fine restaurants, contemporary bars and a thriving bi-monthly Farmers Market. The famous Cathedral and beautiful Water Meadows are within the city and there is network of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding in the surrounding countryside in and around Compton and Winchester. There are excellent connections to the M3, M27, A34, the South Coast and the New Forest. Southampton International Airport is 13 miles away and just under a mile away is Shawford Station which offers a direct train to London. Schooling is typically outstanding. Local catchment schools are Compton All Saints CE Primary School (short walk from the property) and Kings School as well as nearby independent schools, The Pilgrims’ School, Twyford Preparatory School, Winchester College and St. Swithun’s School.
