SNUGGLE UP OR RETREAT TO WORK

Also off the central hallway, you’ll find a snug/TV room offering a fantastic spot for family movie nights or a playroom for the kids.

Finally by the front door, away from the hubbub of the house, is a light study with a bay window large enough for a desk looking out on the garden and built-in bookshelves, ideal for folders and files. Cat 6 cabling throughout the house ensures a fast, reliable internet connection which makes working from home easy.

SANCTUARY & SLUMBER

Upstairs is a broad landing leading to the five large double bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts space for a super king-size bed and has a magnificent south-facing vista, as well as a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room with a large shower enclosure, double basins and plenty of bathroom storage.

The neighbouring guest room offers lots of space and a similar modern en suite shower room. The third good-sized double bedroom looks out westward and has built-in wardrobes and a charming window seat as well as an en suite shower.

The two remaining double bedrooms benefit from the same wonderful views and have built-in storage. They share the large family bathroom which has a pretty tiled floor and both a bath and a shower.

Finally an ingenious upstairs laundry/boiler room will save you carrying laundry and bedding up and down the stairs. The combi-boiler and Megaflo system ensure there’s plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure.

The second floor is a big loft storage space spanning the length of the house, easily accessed via the main staircase – no need for fiddly ladders here! It could equally be used as a hobby room or as a great extra space for sleepovers.

TWO BED ANNEXE

The annexe is ideal to house a parent or a grown-up child. There is a bright open- plan living room with patio doors leading straight to the garden. The annexe enjoys the same beautiful rural views as the main house.

The reception room features a kitchen and dining area, with space for a large sofa and TV. There is also a shower room and a good-sized bedroom, all with level access. The annexe has its own front door and is also linked to the main house via the kitchen.

A second double bedroom with an en suite bathroom is reached via an external staircase. This room, with its own access, could also make an ideal home office.

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE

Winton House is ideally located between Medstead and Bighton, both popular Hampshire villages offering a range of local shops, facilities and amenities as well as active local communities and various sports clubs.
