This elegant, stylish Grade II Listed townhouse, is set in a highly sought-after position close to Winchester city centre. The house combines period integrity with modern day styling and function. Large shuttered sash windows, which in the principal bedroom are 'floor to ceiling', recently restored exposed floorboards, high ceilings and original fireplaces are notable features.

The ground floor sitting room has wooden flooring, a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove and extensive built-in storage. Towards the rear of the ground floor there is a formal dining room, and a light and airy garden room with full-height windows and bi-fold doors onto the west-facing patio garden. The kitchen/breakfast room links the sitting room to the dining room in a semi-open plan layout, and features shaker-style units in royal blue, wooden worktops and integrated Neff appliances.

There is a further reception room on the lower ground floor – the family room offering an informal space with many possible uses including as a guest bedroom as there is a shower room on this level too.

There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which was a bathroom and so could easily become so again and en-suite to the principal bedroom, and a further two on the second floor, with four of the bedrooms including fitted storage, and the truly elegant principal bedroom providing access to the balcony. The generous family bathroom, with its separate shower, is situated on the second floor.

St. James Terrace is a splendid pedestrianised residential street, located less than a quarter of a mile from the bustling centre of popular Winchester, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the city’s excellent amenities, shopping and cultural attractions. Winchester is an historic city, and its centre is full of interesting alleys and backstreets, together with a pedestrianised central precinct filled with a great choice of shops, bars and restaurants. The city enjoys excellent transport links, with the mainline railway station offering services to London Waterloo in just over an hour, while the M3 is within easy reach. The city is home to several excellent state and independent schools, including St Faith’s Church of England School, Westgate School, Kings, Twyford and Prince’s Mead Preparatory Schools, Winchester College and St Swithun’s. The property also enjoys a close proximity to the Royal Winchester Golf Club

At the front of the property, a gate provides pedestrian access to the property, from the pedestrianised St. James Terrace. A paved pathway leads to the entrance, while there is also an area of lawn, border flowerbeds and a cobblestone wall to the neighbouring property. The rear gardens are low maintenance, and comprise paved terracing with plenty of space for garden seating and pot plants. Steps lead to the rear gate, beyond which there is a driveway with two parking spaces, accessed via Crowder Terrace.
