The classically styled property with many period features is within close proximity of Winchester city centre. It also has lovely views towards the Cathedral and the Guildhall from the rear of the property.

      The entrance is from a flight of stone and railed steps to an attractive front door, opening into an impressive hallway, which showcases the high ceilings then evident throughout the property. There is an elegant staircase that sweeps up to the second floor landing with a fabulous glass lantern roof which allows for an abundance of natural light. Each of the principal rooms are of excellent proportions, with classic period features including fireplace and tall sash windows providing a light interior and stunning views to the rear. The lower ground floor, which then allows for access on to rear garden, has the potential for reconfiguration (subject to usual consents), of then the existing kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room. The property has been well-maintained and provides an opportunity for the next owner to modernise to their own style (subject to usual consents).
