A distinctive detached house of Victorian origin presenting front elevations typical of the period with two symmetrical bay windows on ground and first floors with a traditional central porch. The house has been extended and remodelled by the current owners creating well balanced family accommodation with a bright and spacious atmosphere.

On the ground floor the central kitchen/ breakfast room has a good range of traditional Shaker-style painted units under wooden work surfaces. Radiating from this excellent central room are the elegant sitting room and separate dining room, each with bay window and Victorian style fireplaces. Additionally, the family room is semi open plan to the kitchen creating a practical and versatile arrangement.

The principal bedroom has an en suite bath/ shower room and Victorian style fireplace together with commanding views towards Odiham Cricket Ground and countryside beyond. There are three other double bedrooms and family bathroom, plus a useful study also with outstanding views.

St Helens is a fine character home whilst providing all the attributes of modern day living.
