Detached house for sale in Hacks Lane, Winchester SO21

A unique opportunity to purchase an exceptional family residence set on a quiet, country lane in one of the most sought after villages in Hampshire.

Available for the first time in fifteen years, this much loved home has been subject to an exacting programme of improvements by the current owners and now offers flexible, well-proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 2800 square feet.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to a triple aspect sitting room with feature fireplace, a study and an open plan kitchen/dining room fitted with a stylish range of modern units and built-in appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, which in turn leads to a boot room providing access to the double garage and external side aspect. A cloakroom set off the hallway completes the ground floor layout.

To the first floor, a landing area links to the superb, double aspect main bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms to this level, one of which is en-suite, a family shower room and a magnificent, double aspect games/media room/studio with roof windows and double doors opening onto a private balcony. This superb space is currently a snooker room, but offers options for a variety of uses including a gym, cinema room or studio/workstation.

From the first floor landing, a recently installed stairwell ascends to the converted loft area, which is currently an excellent office space with an additional workstation area. This area can also be used as a fifth bedroom, with the ability to create an en-suite shower room in place of the workstation if desired. From here and the first floor, there are delightful views to the rear across the rooftops to the cricket pitch and tree lined horizon.
