A DISTINCTIVE 'Arts and Crafts' designed home, set in stunning mature grounds on an exclusive private road in Winchester is on the market for £2.5 million.
The Laurels at Sleepers Hill has been owned by the same family since it was built in 1998.
The stunning home boasts five double bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Agent Jon Lacey, of Savills Winchester, told the Daily Echo: "The Laurels was designed with an exemplary eye for detail, blending the key qualities of the Arts and Crafts movement with the modern flair and cutting-edge design of a new build.
"This superb family home is in a wonderful tranquil setting yet within a short distance of the city centre."
The house sits centrally in a secluded plot of around 0.6 acres, with mature trees to its boundary and lawn to the front and rear.
From the gated entrance, a private driveway provides parking for several cars as well as access to the detached double garage.
The front door opens to a spacious reception hall, with each of the principal rooms leading off of it. There is a study, family room, drawing room with working fireplace, an open-plan dining/kitchen/living room, a utility and a cloakroom/WC, as well as ample storage.
The original kitchen has been refitted and is now reconfigured into an open plan arrangement, that also incorporates the once-formal dining room. This large reception area provides a fabulous entertaining space.
From an attractive galleried landing, the first floor boasts five double bedrooms, three en suites and a family bathroom.
The property has an expansive loft space, ideal for accessible storage, or possible conversion.
The gardens are well cared for with hedge boundaries, as well as attractive, well-stocked flower beds and borders and delightful seating areas.
Sleepers Hill is a private cul de sac of just five properties close to the edge of Winchester with easy access to the city by foot.
Winchester is an extremely sought-after location thanks to its historic centre, host of amenities and location, close to the countryside and less than an hour from London by train.
Families are particularly drawn to the highly-regarded state and private schools nearby, as well as prestigious Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.
