4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Property:

Former stable block and coach house, cleverly converted and extended to create an exceptional modern home without compromising its characterful history. This fabulous home boasts large, well-proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms, and is beautifully presented throughout.

The main hallway is a wonderful space, leading to the principal reception rooms and kitchen, which have been designed with entertaining in mind. The heart of the house is undoubtedly the open plan fitted ‘Leicht’ kitchen/breakfast room, which leads to a large family room and dining area, stretching almost the full depth of the house. The focal point of this space is the large central island with granite work surface, double sink and breakfast bar which comfortably seats four people. Behind the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom. The principal sitting room acts as a cosier, yet spacious, retreat with a wood-burning stove. There is an additional office, perfectly positioned for privacy and quiet, ideal for working from home. The ground floor is also served by underfloor heating throughout, remotely controlled by an app for added convenience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a wonderful arrangement with vaulted ceiling and large balcony. The bathroom and adjacent fourth bedroom present an opportunity to create a large, luxury suite with a sizeable nursery or dressing room. The guest bedroom benefits from its own ensuite and the third bedroom is served by the superb family bathroom with free standing bath.

Outside, the property sits centrally within its plot, which provides two manageable gardens with a high degree of privacy. The enclosed rear garden has a paved patio area, perfect for alfresco dining, with a sunny aspect and complete privacy. The second garden can be accessed from the front of the house or the kitchen, and its border is defined by a mature hedge. It also benefits from a paved patio, lawn and a feature Holly tree. To the front of the cottage is a generous driveway with parking for up to six cars and an electric vehicle charging point.

The Location:

The house is located only two miles from the city centre in the small, picturesque village of Abbotts Worthy located in the popular Itchen Valley, which leads from Winchester towards the beautiful market town of Alresford. The house itself is extremely well placed for the mainline railway station and major road links to the north and south.
