Culverwell Gardens, Winchester, SO23

The Property:
This delightful period property has been comprehensively remodelled by the current architect owner to create a light-filled modern house that has been thoroughly refurbished to a high standard.

Ground Floor
The property has an open plan ground floor with a generous floor-to-ceiling height and a unique double-height void in the centre of the room. A sash window to the front overlooks the secluded front garden and sliding doors to the rear open into a private courtyard garden. A rooflight, exposed first-floor sash window and a glazed screen within the double height void create an uplifting and secluded space filled with natural light. An engineered oak floor with underfloor heating is laid throughout. There is a cloakroom, with built-in storage, and fitted cloaks/ storage cupboards under the stairs. The bespoke fitted kitchen has an extra deep composite-stone countertop with an under-mounted sink and a Bora induction downdraft hob. The base units provide storage and house integrated appliances (oven, fridge, dishwasher). Wall units provide additional storage. There is ample space for a dining table and for the future owner to configure the space as they wish.

First Floor
The first-floor landing has a full-height glazed wall that allows views into the double-height void and for natural light to flood in. Pocket doors can be used to close off the staircases. The principal bedroom has two east facing sash windows overlooking the front garden and a fitted wardrobe. The bathroom is flooded with natural light by a large rooflight and has a generous sized bath with shower over, shower screen, wall-hung WC and basin, vanity shelf, mirror, heated towel rail and warm-floor heating installed.

Second Floor
The second-floor double bedroom is a light and characterful space with rooflights to the front and back.

Outside
This property has a generous amount of outside space for its location. The east facing front garden is landscaped and includes a York Stone path and patio area and mature planted borders, Victorian wrought-iron railings at the entrance, a timber fence to one side and a beech hedge to the other. A space has been left for a home office/ shed. The west facing rear courtyard is landscaped with York Stone and decorative gravel. The property can't be seen from the road and is approached via a private gravel footpath leading to the front garden.
