Leonards Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 0QX

You don’t find many homes set out like this – and that’s a real shame.  When you’ve got panoramic views stretching from Winchester to St Catherine’s Hill it just makes sense to flip the layout - and convention - on it’s head to make the most of them. Imperial Homes built just four of these in 2022 - an exclusive development where every decision was made with the view in mind.

The main living space stretches almost 23ft across, with a vaulted ceiling that draws your eye up before the view pulls it straight back out to the horizon. Skylights pour in the light, and a Juliette balcony off the living area means you can leave the doors open on a summer evening and just drink it all in. The kitchen is built around a sleek navy island with an induction hob and fully integrated appliances - all clean lines, no clutter. There's a defined dining nook to one side, a utility room and a separate WC. The whole floor works as well for a quiet night in as it does when you've got friends over on a Saturday evening.

Back downstairs, all three bedrooms sit off a central hall. The main bedroom is a proper double with its own ensuite and direct access to the garden. The second is another double and the third works well as a nursery, home office or guest room - real flexibility depending on where you are in life.  A family bathroom with rainfall shower over the bath serves the remaining rooms.

Outside, the garden is low-maintenance and designed to be enjoyed - with a paved terrace, an artificial lawn, decking and a handy shed. There's an allocated parking space with an EV charger, plus visitor spaces for when people come to you. It’s worth flagging the running costs too. As a modern home built with the latest energy efficiency in mind, the air source heat pump and EPC B rating mean this home is genuinely economical to run. Winchester city centre is only a ten-minute walk away, putting the high street, independent cafés and the Saturday farmers' market all within easy reach.  The station is around fifteen minutes from the door, with direct trains to London Waterloo in just under an hour. For families, the property sits within reach of All Saints Primary and The Westgate School, with Peter Symonds College also nearby.

This upside-down modern family home turns the traditional layout on its head – because when the view is this good, it deserves to be where you actually spend your time.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - I’m expecting plenty of interest.
