Contemporary extension opens up Victorian house
The contemporary extension at this well proportioned semi-detached house in Winchester opens up the ground floor accommodation and provides a sought after space with defined areas for relaxing and dining but which are still connected with the fabulous kitchen.
The house is approached over a traditional tiled pathway to the recessed front door which has wonderful stained glass panels. The hallway is wide and naturally lit by a window to the half landing and doors open to the separate sitting room at the front of the house where a traditional style fireplace takes centre stage and window shutters are fitted into the bay. The fabulous family space at the rear of the house has stripped floorboards running throughout, with underfloor heating in the extension, and also includes a useful utility room with a door to the side and bi-folding doors at the rear means that the dining area flows seamlessly out to the decked area of the garden.
An elegant staircase rises to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and the smart family bathroom. The two largest bedrooms have original cast iron fireplaces and the rooms at the front of the house have fitted window shutters.
The loft space offers huge potential for conversion to an impressive master suite and planning permission has been granted.
The gardens have been attractively laid out with a contemporary water feature and a decked barbecue area leading onto the lawn. The rear garden is enclosed by a combination of traditional brick and new walls, and timber fencing, and a gated pathway provides access to the front of the property.
