This substantial and impressive five-bedroom period property is situated in the popular Fulflood district of Winchester. It will appeal greatly to those who want generous room sizes, as well as the benefits of excellent local schools nearby, including Western primary, Westgate all-through school and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College. Many of the desirable features of its age are evident, including lovely high ceilings, cornicing, wooden floors and beautiful fireplaces. The property is a stone’s throw from the city centre and mainline railway station.

The house is situated in an elevated position, with steps leading up to the front door. The inviting entrance hall leads into the elegant sitting room at the front, which is a lovely light space featuring a period fireplace, cornicing, picture rail, ceiling rose and bay window. Adjoining the sitting room is the generous dining room, again with an attractive period fireplace, and at the end of the hall is a useful cloakroom. To the rear of the house is the spacious, well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room which has newly fitted units offering plenty of storage and integrated appliances such as a range-style oven and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen provides access to rear garden.

Upstairs on the first floor the principal bedroom to the front is a very generous size with two fitted wardrobes and both a bay and sash window allowing plenty of natural light. There are two further double bedrooms, a smart family bathroom and a modern shower room on this level. The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a sixth bedroom/office with an en-suite cloakroom.

To the rear of the property is a good sized, family friendly garden with a paved area adjacent to the house and the remainder mainly laid to lawn and bordered with shrubs. Side access means it is easy to get the bikes out or dispose of garden waste. Permit parking is available.

Superbly positioned for easy access to the mainline railway station, which is just at the bottom of the hill (links to London Waterloo in approximately 55 minutes), and city with its high street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the city's historic cathedral. The house is situated in the catchment for good local schools including Western Primary and Westgate All-Through School, and is close to Peter Symonds College and its grounds. The road itself is very desirable, being populated with some of the more substantial houses available to Winchester buyers.
