This substantial family home offering almost 4,500 sq ft of accommodation is in the sought-after area of St Cross in Winchester and offers exquisite living within a charming period property.

The property has been meticulously and sympathetically refurbished by the current vendors. The bright hallway offers a seamless flow to all the principal rooms. It opens into an elegant drawing room with feature bay window and marble fireplace with inset wood burning stove and also into the stunning formal dining room. The hub of the home is the bespoke Thomas and Thomas handmade kitchen combining beauty with practicality and includes an AGA Total control oven and module. The kitchen has a dramatic glass roof extension with a large breakfasting area and French doors opening to a York stone terrace and south facing garden. Pocket doors from the kitchen open to reveal a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove. Together this provides the perfect accommodation for living, entertaining and relaxing. Off the sitting room is a utility room with a door to the rear terrace and access to the basement which provides a great working space with ample storage.

The first floor has three substantial bedrooms, two with ensuite shower rooms and an amazing family bathroom with a cast iron plunger bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom also has a beautiful balcony area overlooking the gardens. The second floor then offers another three sizeable bedrooms/studies/games room with a further bathroom and a kitchenette.
