An elegant Grade II listed Georgian townhouse forming part of one of the city centre’s most attractive and historically significant cathedral streets, ideally situated for life in Winchester
Occupying a particularly attractive position on Great Minster Street, this elegant Grade II listed period home is steeped in character and heritage, offering beautifully balanced accommodation arranged over four floors. The property immediately impresses with a wealth of retained period features, including high ceilings, sash windows, and fireplaces that collectively create a strong sense of history and charm throughout. The accommodation flows naturally from a welcoming entrance into a series of well-proportioned
reception spaces, each with its own identity yet connected in a way that suits both everyday living and entertaining. Of particular note is the recently updated kitchen, which has been thoughtfully designed to complement the age of the house while introducing a clean, contemporary finish. It provides a superb focal point to the home, practical, stylish, and very much in keeping with modern expectations, while still sitting comfortably within the property's period setting. The kitchen contains a range of high-quality built-in appliances such as an oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher and has direct access via bi-folding doors to the landscaped garden. A separate utility space further enhances functionality.
The upper floors continue the theme of character and versatility, with well-arranged bedrooms enjoying an abundance of natural light and elevated views. The overall layout offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles, whether that be family living, hosting guests, or spaces to work from home. There is an undeniable sense of history to the house, reflective of its setting within one of Winchester's most established and sought-after streets. Great Minster Street itself is known for its architectural significance and close proximity to the city's historic core, giving the property a unique blend of convenience and timeless appeal. Altogether, this is a home that successfully marries period integrity with modern refinement, offering character, practicality, and a location that is hard to better.
OUTSIDE
The garden has recently been relandscaped to create a beautifully arranged and highly functional outdoor space. Newly laid paving forms defined areas ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining all year round, providing a seamless connection to the kitchen and living accommodation via bi-folding doors. A particular feature of the garden is its attractive walled setting, with striking brick and flint boundaries that not only enhance privacy but also add a strong sense of character and visual appeal. The combination of these traditional materials creates a timeless backdrop, perfectly in keeping with the style of the property.
The overall design offers a peaceful and sheltered environment, while also benefiting from useful rear access, adding a practical element to what is an already charming and well considered outdoor space.
