A brilliant five bedroom family home with generous and versatile accommodation with an integrated garage and within a peaceful location.

Description
This attractive family home offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, thoughtfully designed to suit modern living while retaining a strong sense of space and natural light throughout.

The ground floor centres around a generous kitchen/dining room, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining, supported by a practical utility and boot room that provides useful storage. The kitchen provides plenty of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, a freestanding oven with an induction hob and space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer. The sitting room is a particular highlight, enjoying views over the front garden and excellent proportions with a long, well-balanced layout that allows for multiple seating arrangements. Its shape and scale create an inviting and flexible space, well suited to both relaxed living and more formal occasions.

Upstairs, the property offers a well-considered bedroom layout. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, providing a private retreat, while the remaining bedrooms are well sized and versatile, lending themselves easily to family use, guest accommodation or home working.

Overall, this is a well-planned home that combines practical everyday spaces with strong accommodation, complemented

Outside
The property is complemented by impressive front and rear gardens that offer a strong sense of privacy and maturity. The front garden is beautifully established, laid mainly to lawn and framed by a variety of mature trees, shrubs and hedging. These natural boundaries create an attractive approach to the house while also providing a notable level of seclusion from the road, giving the space a calm, leafy feel.

To the rear, the garden is equally impressive and thoughtfully
arranged. A broad expanse of well-kept lawn sits at the centre, bordered by deep, well-stocked beds and established hedging that wrap around the garden and enhance its private, enclosed atmosphere. Mature trees and planting add structure, colour and year-round interest, while a pathway leads to a discreetly positioned garden shed towards the rear boundary. The overall effect is a peaceful and sheltered outdoor space, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Together, the front and rear gardens form a key feature of the property, offering mature landscaping, generous outdoor
space and a level of privacy rarely found in such a convenient setting.

Location
The property is set back from Orient Drive and located off the
Harestock Road on the northern fringe of the beautiful cathedral city of Winchester and is conveniently located within 0.5 miles of Waitrose in Weeke that contains a coffee shop, convenience shop and a pharmacy. The area offers a variety of housing stock in an established location, making the area highly desirable amongst young professionals, families and those looking to move to a more convenient location from the more rural villages.

West towards Sparsholt there are many attractive walks, cycles or runs straight from the front door. There are local landmarks such as Farley Mount County Park, Crabwood and The Clarendon Way adding connection to the outstanding countryside surrounding Winchester and providing a perfect blend of city and country life.

The pedestrianised high street is exactly 1.7 mile from the property and contains a full range of amenities including national retailers, independent shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and public houses. There is a variety of cultural and leisure facilities such as The Arc Discovery Centre and Library, a local cinema, Theatre Royal and the sports and leisure park.

There are excellent communications links across the country with the mainline railway station 1.3 miles from the property providing access to London in under 60 minutes. The motorway network via the M3 at junctions 9 or 11 is particularly accessible, along with the A34 to the north and the M27 coastal motorway, providing access to the New
Forest and Southampton International Airport.

Winchester contains excellent schooling with several highly
regarded local schools nearby, including Henry Beaufort (currently in catchment) Princes Mead, St Swithuns school for girls, Winchester College, Pilgrims, and Twyford Prep all continuing to be a huge draw to the city and within 6 miles of Orient Drive.
