Barnes CloseWinchester, Hampshire, SO23 9QX

Bourne House was originally built around 1898 affording splendid town house living typical of the St. Cross area. In the 1980's the property was converted into three unique apartments, Top Bourne being on the second floor offering a spectacular ‘penthouse' living with outstanding views across the gardens of St. Cross and St. Catherines Hill beyond. The property and its three apartments share the long private driveway, that passes the individual private gardens, to a courtyard area of parking, whereby there is an individual parking space allocated to this property. Top Bourne is accessed via an external staircase to its front door.

From a welcoming and particularly spacious entrance hall, doors lead to a variety of storage spaces and to the following rooms: a kitchen/breakfast room; living room; principal bedroom, guest bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen has been masterfully redesigned and fitted with bespoke cabinetry with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and full integration of appliances more commonly found in a larger family home. The cleverly positioned breakfast bar makes the space versatile and practical for day to day living. A particular highlight is the wonderful living room featuring a classic Victorian bay window, window seat and a cosy wood burning stove for the winter months.

There are two very generous bedrooms both featuring elevated views over the mature surrounding area, built in storage and charming period features. A luxurious bathroom completes the accommodation. Top Bourne also has a very useful and fully boarded loft space spanning the entirety of the apartment.

This beautiful apartment is finished to the highest of standards and rare to find within St Cross, the addition of such a charming garden and off-street parking further increase the properties appeal.

OUTSIDE
A unique highlight of the property is the wonderful garden which is mostly laid to lawn and features a variety of specimen trees, mature flowering shrubs and plants designed for screening and privacy. The substantial garden shed is set to one side of the garden and has the added benefit of electricity. There is an area for growing vegetables and a paved terrace ideal for an outdoor kitchen and entertaining guests over the summer months.
