Location

Texas Drive is situated on the South Westley fringe of Winchester overlooking open countryside towards Hursley, yet approximately 3 miles from the railway station in Winchester which offers fast rail links to London Waterloo. Such a sought-after location offers a fine balance between easy access to walks and countryside pursuits found locally and a bustling city centre with a variety of leisure and shopping facilities, restaurants, bars and cafes not forgetting Winchester’s ever popular historical museums, theatre and cathedral. There is easy access to the M3 motorway, A34 and A303 connecting Winchester south to the coast, West and to towns and cities North.

A significant reason for many to move to the area is the range of state and private schooling available within the city for pupils at all levels, including Kings School, The Westgate School, Princes Mead, The Pilgrims School, Winchester College, Peter Symonds and St Swithun’s School for Girls.

Description

Approached through timber electric gates which reveal the elevated position and the magnitude of the location there are unrivalled views which can be enjoyed from all aspects. There is a wealth of parking on the driveway at the front which leads to the main entrance, a wonderful space with natural light flooding in from all angles. The sense of scale becomes more apparent when entering the principal reception and entertaining space, whilst drawn to the south easterly rear aspect and garden, the stylish kitchen and dining area deserves particular note. There are integrated appliances and an induction hob within a fantastic centre island which makes for a neat, simple design perfectly in keeping with the architecture of the property. The principal reception room with its bank of glazing on all three sides is a particular highlight, especially given the focal point of the wood burning stove which adds a comforting touch on winter evenings.

There are five bedrooms in total with the principal bedroom encapsulating the feeling of luxury with the dressing area and en suite bathroom. There is a further en suite bedroom and family bathroom with an additional, highly versatile space for working at home or exercising. The bedroom accommodation being positioned away from the principal entertaining space allows for peace and privacy but still offers wonderful proportions and connections to the outside.

The grounds extend to over 4 acres which include a secluded courtyard and private gardens mostly laid to lawn bordering open fields and the countryside beyond.
