Gravel Lane, Winchester, SO21 3RQ

This pretty period cottage has been extended and refurbished to create a wonderful family home with a south-west facing garden.

A converted outbuilding has been attached to the main house via a glazed hall and provides a double-aspect sitting room with three sets of French doors to the garden, exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling and a woodburner.

In the original cottage is a sitting room and dining room either side of the original front door, and a Shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room.

The remainder of the ground floor is made up of an entrance hall, utility room/cloakroom and access to the cellar. Upstairs, are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

There is a fourth bedroom and separate bathroom accessed via a separate staircase.

Externally, the private garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub and flower borders, and a terrace running along the rear of the house.

A single garage to the side of the house can be accessed from the front (where there is one parking space) or the back.

There is a further drive with access from The Street, and parking at the back of the garden.
