5 bedroom detached house for sale

An exceptional, beautifully presented, detached family home which is superbly situated in the popular village of South Wonston. This well-proportioned property is perfect for modern family life and occupies an excellent plot behind a wide frontage enjoying stunning countryside views.

A covered porch leads into the sleek, welcoming entrance hall which is central to all ground floor rooms. The stunning sitting room is an excellent size, with a large bay window to the front and a wood burning stove within an attractive feature fireplace. Through an archway is the impressive formal dining room, a perfect space for entertaining with views over the garden and double doors opening out onto the patio. This room is exceptionally light courtesy of floor to ceiling windows to the side and rear and four Velux roof lights. Adjacent to the dining room lies the superb modern kitchen which is well-appointed with a range of base and eye level units and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include double ovens with warmer drawers, induction hob and dishwasher with space for an American style fridge/freezer. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room with plenty of storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A real benefit of this wonderful house is the rear bedroom with adjoining wet room, creating a perfect annexe space for overnight guests or for those needing accommodation all at ground-floor level. A side door to the garden means these rooms can be accessed without going through the main house. The garage has been converted to provide an extra reception room, currently used as a playroom, and a storeroom, providing excellent additional space. This has the potential to easily be reconfigured back into a garage if desired. A generous double bedroom with adjoining Jack and Jill bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor the accommodation radiates from the impressive light filled landing. The feeling of space continues on this level, with all bedrooms and bathrooms a good size. The main bedroom has large windows overlooking the garden and benefits from a smart fully-tiled en-suite shower room. An impressive contemporary shower room serves two further double bedrooms and there is a generous amount of built-in storage on this level.

Outside, to the front of the property, the shingle driveway provides plenty of off-road parking and is fully enclosed with mature hedges and attractive wooden gates. There is side access to the private and pretty rear garden, with a good size patio area immediately adjacent to the house and the remainder of the garden laid to lawn. Mature hedges add a good degree of privacy and there is a useful shed to one side of the garden.
