This spacious five-bedroom detached house on Winchester Road sits on a large, secluded plot with mature trees and an elevated decked terrace. The property is equidistant from the University and the General Hospital, with the common, golf course and sports centre within easy walking distance — attractive for families and professionals seeking space and convenience.
Inside, a wide hallway with cloakroom leads to a generous dual-aspect lounge and a standout open-plan kitchen/dining room that opens to the deck and garden — a strong entertaining and family hub. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower; four further well‑proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom occupy the first floor alongside a landing with linen cupboard and study space.
Practical strengths include an integral double garage and substantial gravel forecourt providing ample off-street parking, double glazing (post‑2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and low local crime. There is potential to convert the garage or extend, subject to necessary consents, which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the 1983–1990 period and shows features from that era that may suit some buyers but require updating for others. The site has a Tree Preservation Order which restricts alterations to certain trees. Council tax is described as expensive. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate proportions and the garden’s terraced levels and privacy.
