This well-presented Victorian home has been cleverly extended by its current owners and is located in a thriving community and sought-after area of Winchester. The mainline train station, a number of excellent schools for all ages, Peter Symonds VI Form College and two large recreational parks are all within walking distance. A former coach house, this is a rare opportunity to own an exclusive, detached period property within walking distance of the city itself.
The property enjoys many lovely period details such as wooden beams and generously proportioned rooms. The balance of the accommodation is both versatile and first class; the open hallway, giving direct access to the garden and also leading to a classic, fully fitted kitchen with butler style sink and integrated appliances which include a dishwasher, washing machine and Range cooker. Leading from the kitchen, the bright, oak-framed conservatory provides additional access to the garden via bi-fold doors on the one side and access to a good-sized dining room on the other.
To the left side of the entrance hallway is a warm and inviting sitting room, which has a feature open fireplace with cast-iron fireback.

The first floor is cleverly arranged to accommodate four double bedrooms and a fifth bedroom/ home office. The first and second bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings. Additionally, the main bedroom has a rose-clad Juliet balcony overlooking the secluded garden, and an en-suite shower room. There is a further, stylish family bathroom with claw-foot bath and travertine tiling.

A very pretty, walled garden at the rear has an area of patio, ideal for alfresco dining, with the remainder laid to lawn and flower beds. There is a good selection of shrubs and flowers, as well as an apple tree and a number of established David Austin roses. There is also an attractive summerhouse and timber-framed, insulated workshop with power and light. To the front of the property is the driveway providing access to an integral garage (accessible via the kitchen), and parking space for a further two vehicles.

Stockbridge Road is superbly positioned for easy access to the mainline railway station (links to London Waterloo in approximately 60 minutes), and City with its High Street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the City's historic Cathedral. The house is situated in the catchment for good local schools including Western Primary and Westgate all-through schools, and is close to Peter Symonds College and its grounds. The road itself is very desirable, being populated with some of the more substantial period houses available to Winchester buyers.
