Rozelle Close, Littleton, SO22 6QP

THE PROPERTY Attractive and well maintained single storey property in the sought after village of Littleton with exquisite front and rear gardens, backing onto fields and open countryside, yet enviably close to Winchester.

A deep front garden leads up to a sheltered front door, and into the welcoming hallway.

The sitting room has a large window to the front garden and features a woodburning stove bringing cosiness for chilly winter evenings, and there is a door to the side, which leads into the bedroom wing.

From the sitting room, folding double doors open through to the dining room, which in turn leads through to the conservatory.

When the dining room doors are folded back, the view from the sitting room through to the landscaped gardens is incredible, and creates a fabulous social space for family gatherings and parties.

However the hub of this home is clearly the kitchen/breakfast room, generously fitted with a wealth of shaker style white cabinetry and integrated appliances, and doors and windows to the garden.

From the kitchen, steps lead up to a useful snug/study area with fitted cupboards offering further storage and housing the Potterton gas boiler.

There is a good sized utility room, which has a door through to the garage.

From the sitting room, a door leads through to the bedrooms area where the principal bedroom overlooks the garden, creating a wonderful room to wake up to in the mornings.

It benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom which has a bath with shower over, wc, basin and a window to the garden. There are three further bedrooms, and family shower room.
