The Ridings

INTRODUCTION
A beautifully enhanced family home where thoughtful improvements, versatile accommodation and a desirable village setting come together. Tucked away within the popular residential setting of The Ridings, this impressive detached home has been substantially improved by the current owners, creating a property that feels both stylish and exceptionally practical. Rather than simply updating the décor, they have thoughtfully adapted the house to suit modern family life, including the partial conversion of the garage to create a dedicated gym and the addition of a versatile multi-purpose room. With generous living accommodation, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms, there is an enviable amount of space to grow into. The result is a home that offers flexibility at every turn, whether you need somewhere to work, exercise, entertain or simply unwind.

LOCATION
Waltham Chase is a sought-after Hampshire village, appreciated for its strong community feel and semi-rural surroundings. The village provides everyday conveniences including a local store, village amenities, recreation areas and schooling, whilst nearby Bishop's Waltham and Wickham offer a wider selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and independent businesses.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of walking routes and footpaths, whilst the village's position makes it particularly appealing to commuters. Botley railway station is within easy reach, with Winchester, Southampton and the wider motorway network also readily accessible. It is this balance of village life, open countryside and accessibility that makes Waltham Chase such an appealing place to call home.

INSIDE
Step inside and the extent of the current owners' improvements quickly becomes apparent. The kitchen has been comprehensively modernised, creating a smart and functional heart to the home, while the adjoining utility area adds an invaluable layer of practicality.

There are two further reception rooms, each enjoying views over the private rear garden. The bright dining room provides an inviting space for family meals and entertaining, while the separate lounge offers a more relaxed setting in which to unwind.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are well complemented by the family bathroom. Beyond the principal accommodation, the partially converted garage now provides a dedicated gym, while a separate multi-purpose room offers endless possibilities, from a home office or creative studio to a playroom or hobby space.

OUTSIDE
The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, offering a private and enclosed setting with a pleasant outlook from both the dining room and lounge. It provides plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, children's play or simply enjoying the garden during the warmer months. To the front, a driveway provides valuable off-road parking, while the adapted garage and additional versatile room offer an impressive amount of practical storage and lifestyle space.
