This spacious detached house at Downs Road in South Wonston has superb flexibility which means the house can adapt as the family dynamics evolve over time.

Currently arranged as a lovely family home with the focus on a large open plan kitchen and dining room with a lobby on one side opening to the utility room, garage and secondary staircase and a lobby are on the other side with a door to the garden, study and back to the main entrance hall. There is also a good size sitting room with an arch through to a family room where patio doors open to the garden.

The first floor accommodation has been reconfigured from five to four bedrooms – all a lovely size, two with en suite shower or bathroom and the main bedroom also benefitting from a dressing room. There is also a family bathroom.

Incorporating the main bedroom, bathroom and dressing room and with the secondary staircase from the side lobby, it is easy to imagine this side of the house, perhaps with the utility room and garage adapted to provide living space, arranged as a very comfortable annexe. In fact the floorplans suggests that the house could in fact be fairly evenly divided to provide space for extended family members to enjoy a virtually self-contained lifestyle.

The wide south facing garden is delightful and divided into several areas with shaped lawns edged in brick and seating spaces allowing for those who like to sit in the shade as well as those who prefer a sunny spot. This is also a private garden and at the front there is plenty of parking on the driveway in front of the garage and to the side.
