The grandeur is immediately on display when you enter this welcoming central hallway, from where doors link to the principal living spaces and a grand staircase sweeps around and rises to the upper floors. The ground floor principal rooms include a drawing room, sitting room, dining room and family room, all offering comfortable space for family flexible living. The kitchen/breakfast room is set at the front of the house, with a garden room and sunroom to the side and rear enjoying leafy views across the garden. Further rooms to this level include a utility room, kitchenette, bathroom and cloakroom. The ground floor is currently arranged to incorporate an annexe with private access making this a great opportunity for multi-generational living, but could easily be used as one large living space if required. The first floor and second floor provide seven comfortable bedrooms with three bath/shower rooms servicing all bedroom accommodation. From the rear of the property, there are elevated views from the two upper floors across to St. Catherine’s Hill and beyond. All in all, the property extends to just over 5000 square feet, with garaging and numerous outbuildings. Externally the property is sat on a plot of around half an acre and is mainly laid to lawn, with mature borders, a swimming pool and pedestrian access out to St Cross Road.

The property lies within the highly desirable St Cross area to the south of the city of Winchester.
