The Property:
'Jagged Woods' dates to the 1970's and is a well-proportioned detached property with just over 1,500 ft² of accommodation over a single level. The property has bright and spacious accommodation and now lends itself to upgrading and improvement or possible redevelopment. The gardens extend to .51 acre and wrap neatly around the property. Set back from the road behind a long gravel driveway that accesses the detached double garage, which sits to the east side of the plot. The front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs including laurel with a pathway to the front door. The rear gardens are a delight and there is a terrace directly behind the back of the property which graduates onto the lawn with interspersed flower and shrub borders, to the back of the garden are fruit cages, vegetable beds and a wooden garden shed. There are views over neighbouring paddocks and on a clear day it is possible to see the Isle of Wight.
The Location:
Owslebury is a delightful Hampshire village which falls to the southeast of Winchester, an approximate 12-minute drive away, and is within the South Downs National Park, completely surrounded by glorious open countryside. Within the village is a local primary school, St. Andrew's Church, a village hall (which runs a part-time post office service), as well as the popular Ship Inn public house and a cricket ground that has been in use for approximately 150 years. There is also a vibrant community association and several parish clubs and groups. Winchester is a splendid historical Cathedral City with much character, yet with a modern cosmopolitan feel. As well as national retail chains, Winchester is home to an array of independent boutique shops, fine restaurants, contemporary bars and an impressive farmers market. Schooling is typically outstanding, with the local catchment schools being Owslebury Primary School, The Westgate 'through' School and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College. Independent schools include The Pilgrims' School, St. Swithun's School, and Winchester College. Princes Mead and Twyford School are also a short drive away.
