With a southerly facing garden and an excellent swimming pool and hot tub, South Lodge at South Drive in Littleton certainly shines through the warmer months. The rest of the year is not so bad either with exceptional accommodation in the detached house, a quiet location in this popular village and easy access into Winchester.

Very much a family home, the ground floor centres around a stunning kitchen with a breakfast area, through to a dining room with bi-folding doors to the garden and on through an archway to the main sitting room. This is a fabulous semi-open plan living space and there is also second, sitting room which provides a quieter haven away from the bustle of family life. An inner lobby connects the house with the garage and a very useful laundry room; and from the rear of the main entrance hall, lit by a full height window, is a boot room and cloakroom.

Three generous bedroom suites are arranged over the first floor with bedrooms four and five sharing the family bathroom.

A games room lies above the garage and is accessed via an external staircase. In addition to the large garage are further outbuildings for storage. Within the quietly positioned and private garden is the swimming pool, surrounded by a paved terrace, with an adjacent hot tub and protected from the garden by railings.

Available on an unfurnished basis from the end of January, Charters quotes a monthly rent of £3,500 and welcomes enquiries on 01962 830880. Pets may be considered by the landlord.
