LOCATION

‘Upper Reaches’ has been a cherished family home in a very special street. It is a short stroll from Botley’s Village High Street, with its array of shops and conveniences, pubs, market hall, restaurants and takeaways. The village school is also in close proximity, as is neighbouring Hedge End, with Southampton and Winchester just a short drive away. Botley further benefits from its own railway station, offering direct access to Portsmouth and Eastleigh with its links to mainline travel.

GROUND FLOOR

A vaulted entrance hall boasts a stunning spiral staircase and a cupboard for coats and shoes. At the heart of the home is a modern, high specification kitchen that spans the depth of the house and flows into a family room with sitting and dining space opening out to the rear garden through French doors. Also accessed from the kitchen is an elegant reception room currently in use as a dining room, which also leads to the garden patio through sliding doors.

The principal living room is both generous and cosy, with a wall of panelled glass opening up the space and enhancing the light and open feeling that runs throughout the ground floor.

On this floor there is also a room that is ideal as a study or home office, and a guest cloakroom with a WC and wash hand basin.

FIRST FLOOR

The dual aspect, principal bedroom features a separate dressing area and en-suite with a large, walk in shower, WC and a wash basin. Three further double bedrooms are all of good size, with excellent views; two of the bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, one of the bedrooms further benefits from en-suite facilities.

The large family bathroom comprises a corner bath with a shower, WC and a wash basin set in a vanity unit with storage cupboards beneath. The landing gives access to the large loft space which, subject to planning consents, would lend itself well to further expansion of the living space.
