Just moments from the heart of Winchester and situated on the sought-after Oram’s Abour, this house is a beautifully presented four-storey home that blends period charm with modern living. Distinctive in appearance, this pastel-painted property with its striking pink front door makes an immediate impression, while inside, generous ceiling heights, timber detailing and sash windows create a home of light and character. The ground floor flows from a welcoming reception room with woodburning stove and flagstone flooring, through to a serene dining room with original fireplace recess, and on to a vaulted kitchen with exposed beams, skylights, and granite-topped cabinetry painted in a soft cornflower blue.

On the first floor, a beautifully proportioned sitting room stretches across the front of the house, complete with feature fireplace, ornate ceiling rose and large sash window framing leafy views. A second reception, currently used as a study, provides versatility for dining or home working, with built-in shelving and a cast-iron fireplace. The second floor includes two stylish bedrooms finished in soft pastel palettes. Bedroom one features a fireplace, and both boast elegant proportions. They are served by a smart bathroom with a rainfall shower over a full-sized tub.

The top floor reveals a charming third bedroom tucked beneath the eaves, with dormer window, skylight and fitted storage. Bright yet private, this space is ideal as the master bedroom or peaceful guest retreat, with its sloping ceiling adding further character. Across the house, thoughtful attention has been paid to preserving original features while introducing a fresh, contemporary finish, resulting in a property that is both practical and stylish.

Externally, the garden is a particular highlight. A paved terrace leads directly from the house, sheltered by a pergola and bordered by abundant planting, with steps rising to a raised dining terrace surrounded by herbs and potted greenery. Below, a neat lawn framed by mature shrubs and flowering borders provides colour and privacy, while behind the garden there is a garage at street level, offering rare and valuable parking and storage. With its balance of entertaining space, leafy seclusion and practical design, the garden completes this outstanding country home imbedded in the heart of the city.
