Upon entering, a welcoming front-to-back hall greets visitors, with practical storage cupboards and neat downstairs WC leading off, while a door also opens out to the rear garden. To the front of the house, the kitchen breakfast room is an attractive, well-appointed room with wooden cabinets, integrated appliances and granite worktops. The breakfast area makes this room a practical and sociable space, ideal for everyday living. The spacious sitting and dining room is a warm, inviting room opening onto the private rear garden through large French doors. A feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, and the broad windows draw in plenty of sunlight, making this a well-sized room with an adaptable layout.

The first floor offers two excellent double bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal bedroom features a charming balcony, plentiful space for free-standing furniture to complement the built-in wardrobes and an en suite featuring both bath and shower, making it an incredibly appealing suite. Bedroom two, set at the front of the house, is a bright, appealing room again of generous proportions with built-in wardrobes. A full-height angled, bay-style window adds character. This level also includes the family bathroom, neatly arranged and spacious.

The top floor is home to a dual-aspect third bedroom, another superbly sized room, this time with good eaves storage and striking views over Winchester’s rooftops towards the cathedral. This elevated vantage point offers a rare sense of privacy and outlook, creating a tranquil retreat at the top of the house.

Externally, the property benefits from a good-sized, smartly landscaped, south-facing garden, providing a very private, low-maintenance outdoor space with a super outlook towards the cathedral. The end-of-terrace position means there is good, private parking to one side of the house, and there is a further dedicated parking space just opposite. With outside storage including an external cupboard by the parking space and a shed in the rear garden, this home offers both comfort and convenience in equal measure. With spacious accommodation, standout views, and a prime central location, this is a special home offering both comfort and convenience in equal measure.
