Set in the sought-after heart of Fulflood, just a leisurely stroll from Winchester’s mainline station to London, this stunning detached residence enjoys a coveted position on leafy streets, renowned for their charm, excellent local schools, and convenient access to the city centre and transport links. Boasting architectural pedigree, generous proportions, and beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional family home offers the perfect blend of elegance and practicality.

Designed by the award-winning architect Huw Thomas and available for the first time in 38 years, the property is set back and elevated within approximately 0.25 acres of mature gardens, ensuring privacy and tranquillity.

Also on this level are a double bedroom, a modern shower room, a cloakroom, and a sizeable utility room, adding to the home's versatility.

A short staircase leads down to a former garage, now utilised as a substantial storage area and a flexible studio room—ideal as a home office, fifth bedroom, or potential annexe. Upstairs, the accommodation continues with a spacious family bathroom, two double bedrooms, and the principal suite with an ensuite bathroom, all enjoying delightful open views and built-in storage.

The gardens are a true highlight, beautifully landscaped for privacy, maturity, and year-round appeal.
