Botley Road, Bishops Waltham, SO32

INTRODUCTION

Having been completely re-designed and thoughtfully extended by the current owners, this substantial family home certainly combines modern living and the feel of the countryside due to its wonderful position. Set in around half an acre of mature gardens that have been selectively planted and with parking for numerous vehicles, the house is also only a stone's throw away from the centre of the village. Internally the house  flows perfectly and has a lovely light and airy feel throughout. On the ground floor there is underfloor heating throughout with an inviting entrance hall leading through to a sitting room and lounge/reading room, study/office, play-room, utility and cloakroom. The heart of the house then being the spacious kitchen/dining room that has bi-folding doors onto the large patio area, making the most of the views. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms, the master also having a walk-in wardrobe and two of the bedrooms benefitting from being ensuite, along with a stylishly fitted family bathroom.
