South Drive, Winchester

Exterior
House is situated within an impressive 1.1 acre gated plot at the end of the no-through lane. With no neighbours to either side, the position is particularly private. To the front, there is a large lawn with mature border planting and equally large driveway offering generous parking, and enclosed with two five-bar gates. Stone-paved steps lead to the front door and there are gates either side of the house to the grounds, access to the double garage and double gates to the extended driveway.

Grounds
A tremendous highlight. The vendor is a professional garden designer and has dedicated a lot of attention to the landscaping, yet still maintained a sense of minimal presentation that accentuates the space on offer. There is a wide lawn with neat areas of mature planting, a bank of layered terraces and a particularly large patio laid in large-format stone tiles with accent lighting. Further areas of the grounds are also spotlighted with accent lighting. The swimming pool is gated within a low walled area with a stone patio surround and large decked area. Fitted hot-tub. Ample space for sun-bathing and entertaining.

Pool house
Split into three sections. A changing room, a middle space that serves well as a bar (with storage over the pump room), and a separate pump-room that houses the pool equipment and oil-fired boiler.

Social Barn
A wonderful space. Perfect for entertaining, with room for a large party. Low-level units with solid wood worktop, storage, wine fridge and dishwasher. Attractive timber panelled feature wall. Beamed ceilings with loft space. Would serve very well as a party space, large gym, den or large home office with plenty of room for large meetings. Composite deck to the side and extended gated driveway for vehicular access if necessary.

Top Barn
A very versatile space measuring over 60 feet. It has been used for garden storage, ride-on mower garage, games room and gym!

Double Garage/Studio
Half of the garage has been converted into a versatile studio space with ample fitted storage. It could serve as a workshop/craft room/studio etc the other half is a very useful storage space with room for a large car. Access to the boarded and generously-sized loft above the garage is via a pull down loft ladder, allowing easy access to extensive storage options.
