Courtenay Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO23

A substantial and versatile four bedroom family home recently extended to create a magnificent kitchen/dining family space. Situated in a desirable residential area 1 mile from the station.

Description
This is a substantial and beautifully arranged family home, offering generous and versatile accommodation across two floors, with a layout that balances impressive entertaining space and practical day-to-day living. At the heart of the house is an exceptional, fully fitted and bespoke kitchen that really sets the tone. Finished to an outstanding specification that includes Miele appliances, the space opens into a striking open-plan dining/living space, flooded with natural light from a lantern roof above. Large doors lead directly from this space, enhancing the flow and reinforcing its role as the social hub of the home. A separate utility room keeps the main space clutter-free and adds to the overall practicality.

The ground floor flows well, with a series of well-proportioned reception rooms providing flexibility depending on how you like to live. There is a generous principal sitting room, a more formal dining room, and an additional sitting room or study, perfect for home working or quieter evenings. This variety of spaces gives the house real adaptability, whether for growing families or those who enjoy hosting.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal bedroom is particularly well-sized and benefits from its own en suite bathroom, creating a comfortable and private retreat. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles, ideal for family, guests or further workspace if required.

Overall, this is a home that combines scale, quality and thoughtful design, with the standout kitchen space acting as a real focal point, modern, bright and perfectly suited to contemporary living.

Outside
The outside space complements the house beautifully. A large driveway provides an excellent sense of arrival along with ample parking and leads to a double garage, offering further practicality and storage. The plot itself is enveloped by mature trees, creating a high degree of privacy and a wonderfully established feel, with access running all the way around the property.

To the rear, a generous terrace sits directly off the kitchen, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and entertaining, and leading naturally on to an expansive stretch of lawn beyond. The garden offers a great balance of structure and openness, with plenty of scope to personalise over time while already providing an attractive and usable setting.
