previous price £525,000

A beautifully presented and attractive three-storey Victorian townhouse built in circa 1856 and situated about half a mile from the High Street. The property has been extensively updated to create a spacious home, with the well-balanced interiors designed in a clever fashion in order to maximise the available space. The property retains a good amount of period character including a handsome brick-backed fireplace, decorative dado rails and exposed beams. The property is entered via the sitting room, which has fitted storage and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor. Beyond the attractive sitting room is a separate dining room which is open to a modern galley-style kitchen appointed with a mix of wall and base units complemented by granite work surfaces. A cloakroom/utility area to the rear completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are two bedrooms and a smart en suite shower room on the first floor, whilst the second-floor loft conversion houses a further bedroom with en suite bathroom. This impressive space, currently used as a home office, features exposed timber beams, views of Winchester’s castle and cathedral and offers generous insulated eaves storage.

Situation

Chesil Street is set on the eastern fringes of the city centre just 0.5 mile from the High Street with access to the wide range of amenities including high street stores, independent boutiques, library, theatre, cinema and the historic cathedral. The new leisure centre in Bar End, due to open in early 2021, is also close by. Nearby green spaces include the Winnall Moors Nature Reserve and the water meadows alongside the river Itchen, with plenty of footpaths within the South Downs National Park, including the South Downs Way. There is easy access to the M3 and the wider national motorway network, whilst the mainline train station (1.2 miles) serves London Waterloo in under an hour. There are many outstanding private and state schools in the area including St. Bedes, The Westgate School, All Saints primary, Princes Mead, Winchester College, St Swithun’s School and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.
