Egbert Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

* Period property * Beautifully extended kitchen and dining room * Four bedrooms * Garden office * Low maintenance garden * Loft extension * St Bede Primary and Westgate Secondary catchments *

This period property in the heart of Hyde has been thoughtfully designed and benefits from excellent local schools nearby, including St Bede Primary and Westgate Secondary. The house integrates many of the original character features, including super period fireplaces but also benefits from a beautiful architecturally designed extension to the rear of the property.

The entrance hall leads to all the principal accommodation, with an excellent sitting room at the front of the house, which has a lovely log-burning stove. The hallway provides ample practical storage with understairs cupboards and space to hang coats. To the rear, is the wonderful open-plan kitchen/dining room which is the heart of the home and has been extended to provide a light open space with ample storage and integrated appliances including double oven, microwave, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. An additional sitting area has been created with views over the garden and speakers built into the ceiling. Patio doors can be opened onto the garden, combining inside and outside space. A useful downstairs shower room completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor where there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and has the benefit of fitted wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four to the rear have views over the garden and all are served by the modern family bathroom, which includes a clever design feature of a laundry chute which drops down to the downstairs shower room for added convenience. A well-executed loft conversion produces an excellent bedroom on the second floor, with Velux windows and access to plenty of eaves storage.

The tiered rear garden is low maintenance, with a patio area for seating to the front, an artificial lawn area in the middle, both with drainage and a garden office which is located at the end of the garden. Mature shrubs line the fences and fitted lights around the garden provide a beautiful glow in the evenings. A charging unit is directly outside the property, perfect for any electric vehicles.
