4 Bedroom Detached House

For most families, buying a home is a list of compromises. You get the space but lose the location. You get the village feel but add forty minutes to the commute. You get the school catchment but give up the garden.

This one is different. And the vegetable patch is only the start of it.

The front of the house makes a strong first impression - a wide gravel drive with plenty of parking behind a smart blue fence, with solar panels on the roof to keep your energy bills in check.

Inside, the ground floor revolves around an impressive L-shaped sitting and dining room that stretches over 23 feet.The layout lends itself to being zoned  into a living space at one end and a dining area at the other, with parquet flooring and French doors that open straight out to the garden. The kitchen has modern white units with dark worktops and a stainless steel extractor over the range, with windows on two sides looking out over the garden. There’s also a downstairs w/c by the front door and a handy utility room (converted from the garage) that's big enough to take the washing machine, tumble dryer and everything else that tends to pile up in a busy family home. 

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a calm, light room with garden views and fitted wardrobe space. The second bedroom is a good size too - comfortably a double. The third and fourth bedrooms are both singles and work well as children's rooms or as a home office. The family bathroom has a shower over the P-shaped bath, a vanity unit with storage and dark slate-effect floor tiles.

The garden at the back is where this home really comes into its own. Raised brick vegetable beds are set up and ready to go, with a small greenhouse and a picnic table on a gravel seating area beside a pond at the top of the garden that's fully secure, behind gates for safety.

There's a lean-to covered area to one side and a shed. If you've been dreaming of growing your own without taking on an allotment, the hard work has already been done for you.

South Wonston Primary School - rated “Good” by Ofsted - is only a five-minute walk away, with the village post office and shop directly opposite.

The recreation ground, which has a playground, outdoor gym and skatepark, is a similar short walk away, on the other side of Lower Road. 

Winchester, with its famous Cathedral, farmers' market, independent shops and excellent schools, is around 15 minutes by car. The M3 and A34 are about ten minutes away, and London Waterloo is under the hour on the train from Winchester station, making this a manageable commute and convenient for weekend trips to the capital.

If you’re looking for four bedrooms, a real garden, a village feel and a short walk school run (and you'd rather not wait years to find all of that in one place) you should arrange a viewing or you might miss out.
