Help at hand in family space race

If you had one of those “I’m not spending another Christmas in this house” festive breaks – hopefully because your house is too small and not because you all fell out with each other – then help is at hand.

“Lots of people move in the New Year, often because when everyone gets together over Christmas you realise your current home is just too cramped for comfort,” says Zaza Patterson, of Dreweatt Neate’s Winchester lettings department.

“So grab your suitcases and load the furniture and I have two houses available now that will leave plenty of space for next year’s parties.

“The first is in Heathcote Place, Hursley, a three bedroom detached property in a nice village location with views over open fields. It is in great condition as it was refurbished about a year ago and families will appreciate the good village primary school. The house is available at the end of January and the rent is £995 per calendar month.

“While it’s very appealing with its country position – what better than a rural walk to work off the seasonal excess – if you get cold turkey at the thought of withdrawing from urban life then maybe a property at Wheatland Close, Badger Farm, will suit you better.

“This detached house has four bedrooms, a large sitting room and separate dining room, and an adjoining garage. The south facing garden is going to be great during the spring and summer while the contemporary bathroom gives a luxury feel.

“Busy families are going to appreciate the easy access to both Sainsbury’s and the M3 as well as the centre of Winchester. The house is available in mid January at £1, 200 per calendar month exclusive.”
