At nearly 2000 square feet, this impressive contemporary detached house has been comprehensively updated and extended. Situated in an elevated position in a sought-after address, there are beautifully designed open-plan living spaces, four bedrooms, all with ensuites, and glorious panoramic views.
Having purchased the property in 2015, the vendors have conducted a particularly impressive programme of works, resulting in a terrific contemporary yet homely house. The original property has been extended, totally reordered and the loft has been converted to add a wonderful master suite.
To the front of the property, there is a driveway to the front, laid to gravel, with gate leading to the garden path. Alongside the landscaped front garden is a second long driveway offering ample parking. The plot is situated in an elevated position, offering wonderful panoramic views. The front door leads to an entrance hall, which gives access to the kitchen, utility space, guest WC and three downstairs bedrooms. The handleless kitchen is attractively designed in matt anthracite and antique bronze styling with textured floor tiles. Fitted conveniences include two ovens, five-ring gas hob, sink in the island and concealed appliances. There is ample storage in both the flush wall units and the kitchen island, which also has a worktop overhang for dining. Two large-format windows overlook the plot, and there is a three-panel bifold door to the side patio, offering the ability to open up this wonderful social space to the outside. It is a great social kitchen, with room to dine and a large opening to the study area and living room. Above the dining area, the ceiling is open to the mezzanine creating a brilliant sense of volume. Moving through to the study area, this is a versatile central space that could be used in a variety of ways, with stairs rising to the first floor and aperture to the living room. The living room is a great size, with three-pane bifold doors to the patio and an extra space leading to double doors to the rear garden. This would serve very well as another home-office area or perhaps a playroom that is separated from the main living room area.
Upstairs, there is a good-sized landing that the current vendor uses half as a gym and half as a reading nook. The large dormer window offers lovely far-reaching views of Kings Worthy and the countryside beyond. The master bedroom is a wonderful size, with space for a super-king bed and a dormer window with wonderful views. The ensuite shower room is neatly fitted to a high standard. Back downstairs, there is a double bedroom with hotel-style ensuite shower room. The double bedroom overlooking the front garden benefits from access to the large jack-and-jill ensuite bathroom. A fourth double bedroom also connects to this bathroom. Completing the accommodation is a guest WC, laundry cupboard and storage, with back door to the rear garden.
Outside, the front garden is a great size and situated privately above road-level. This wraps around the property and a gate allows the plot to be secure. To the rear, there is a landscaped garden with patio and mature borders.
Boyne Mead Road is a no-through-road in the heart of the village of Kings Worthy and a short distance from Kings Worthy Primary School. Locally there are two well-regarded public houses, a Tesco Express, doctors surgery and a post office. Kings Worthy is an excellent location for access to the A34, A33 and M3 motorway. The City of Winchester is a short distance away, with its mainline railway station (links to London Waterloo in about 60 minutes), high street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the City's historic cathedral.
