This superb, beautifully maintained and presented apartment is tucked away in a peaceful, exclusive, over 55s development on the Eastern fringes of the city. The development was built in 2011 by Beechcroft Developments and is finished to a high standard throughout, with excellent attention to detail. The apartment is served by a lift from both the ground floor and from the secure parking at basement level.

The spacious entrance hall leads to all the principal rooms, with the bedrooms logically arranged together, and the living space enjoying the best of the super outlook over the manicured gardens towards the South Downs in the north and St Giles Hill parkland and Winchester City to the west. The open plan sitting room/ dining room and kitchen is a delight, with an abundance of space and light on offer. The sitting area is particularly bright and airy due to four large windows on two aspects. Adjacent to this, the dining area share the same porcelain tiled floor as the kitchen and has access onto a lovely balcony with excellent views. The kitchen lies next to the dining area, and is very smart and spacious with ample base and eye level units topped by granite worksurfaces, while integrated appliances are by Bosch and Smeg.

The well-appointed bedrooms are all good sizes, with the master bedroom in particular an excellent room with built in wardrobes and an en-suite complete with bath and separate shower. Bedroom two also has built in wardrobes and bedroom three has an array of fitted cupboards as it is currently used as a study.

Milesdown Place benefits from very well-maintained and attractive communal gardens. There is an underground garage with allocated parking space for the apartment, accessed via electric gates, and also private road parking and visitors parking on site. A very attractive feature of this apartment is that the lift leads down from the front door landing to the secure private garage area.
