Outside
The house is approached through electric gates with a secure entry system and a private driveway with discreet lighting, leading the way to large parking area and a double detached garage. The front of the property has recently been re-landscaped to create easy and practical access to the house and garaging.

Surrounding the house is an Indian sandstone paving which has been cleverly designed to create a choice of sunny terraces and ‘outside rooms’ to entertain or relax in the summer months. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and has been expertly landscaped with a variety of flowering plants, shrubs and mature trees for screening. The sense of privacy and complete tranquillity is surprising given the properties location within Winchester city, and offers a relaxing retreat, and generous spaces for families to enjoy all year round.

Tucked behind the garage is a newly constructed outbuilding with electricity and lighting, currently utilised as storage for garden tools. One could easily adapt the building to create a workshop, gymnasium or studio.
