This spacious detached house has been beautifully extended by the current owners to produce the well-balanced accommodation on offer today. The property benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout and enjoys some superb views over the local countryside.

The welcoming entrance hall leads off to the right into a large, dual aspect sitting room which stretches from front to back, with an attractive inset gas fireplace as a centrepiece and double sliding doors out onto the garden. To the left is a study/fifth bedroom with a very handy en-suite shower room and WC, creating a perfect space for overnight guests or for those needing accommodation all at ground-floor level.

To the rear lies a lovely bright dining room with plenty of space for entertaining and which has double doors overlooking the garden. Adjacent to the dining room, the attractive kitchen/breakfast room is well-fitted with an integrated oven and hob, ample floor and eye-level units and space for appliances such as washing machine and dishwasher.

Stairs rise to the first floor where four good sized bedrooms radiate from the central landing. The two generous front bedrooms benefit from wonderful, far-reaching views over the countryside. The principal bedroom is an exceptional space with its own dressing area, while the second bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the property with views over the garden. A family bathroom with shower over the bath completes the accommodation on this floor.

To the front of the property there is a pretty, lawned area bordered by shrubs with ample parking on the driveway in front of the integral garage. Access either side of the house leads through to the lovely, easy to maintain, rear garden which is enclosed by mature hedges around a central lawn offering a good deal of privacy. A patio stretches across the rear of the house – a perfect place for al fresco dining.

Vendor says: "We moved into this house in 1989. At that time it was as built, a four bedroom detached. Over the years, we have extended the property to accommodate a growing family and a family growing up and returning with grandchildren. This was to be our forever family home. It overlooks fields with extensive walking paths to the nearby villages of Compton, Hursley and Shawford, we were extremely lucky to have these in lockdown, and benefits from a well maintained children's play park at the end of the road.

Whilst we have extended to provide a new sitting room, dining room to accommodate 12 diners, kitchen breakfast room, ensuites and two incredibly large bedrooms, there is still the opportunity to add dormers to the back of the house to provide a fifth 10'x12' bedroom on the first floor. Sad as we are to have to leave our wonderful home, the circumstances of one of our children have changed and we now need to move 90 miles to help with childcare."
