2 bed Flat For Sale £675,000
A wonderful and spacious ground floor apartment with enviable proximity to the City
Description
The ground floor apartment is accessed via a discreetly positioned private front door to the side of The Limes. On entering you are immediately welcomed by an impressive entrance hall with a range of built in storage ideal for day to day life. There is plenty of space for furniture due to the generous proportions which sets the tone for the luxurious feel throughout the property. The primary reception room is an absolute highlight of the property and rare to find in a city apartment. Bathed in natural light from the southerly aspect, the generous open plan layout allows for plenty of space for a large dining table and comfortable sitting area enjoying highly attractive views over the wonderful landscaped garden. The kitchen has been cleverly designed and finished with a range of storage cupboards, built in appliances and modern touches throughout which further demonstrates the properties attention to detail and premium quality. There is a very useful utility space and guest WC that neatly utilises a corner of the apartment that could have been overlooked. The clever use of space and practical thoughts really do mean the property works not only on a day-to-day level but when entertaining and accommodating guests. There are two bedrooms one with a range of fitted wardrobes and the other with attractive views of the garden, with a bathroom completing the accommodation.
Worthy of particular note is the highly attractive and surprisingly private garden which has been landscaped and planted to great effect. There is a paved terrace that is ideal for dining al fresco with very well planted borders containing mature shrubs and trees. The southerly aspect and stunning views to the south are all points of difference rare to find in such a location. There is side access to the front of the property further assisting in the ease of use and maintenance of the garden.
Location
This superior apartment is located on St. Giles Hill near to the park, on the southern side of Northbrook Avenue, an attractive tree lined avenue on St. Giles Hill. The historic open green park provides an ideal area for families and dog walkers, with panoramic views across the City and to the South. The road itself is well maintained and yet unadopted, with an active residents association covering all the houses surrounding the five un-adopted roads upon the hill. There is an annual subscription which covers the road maintenance and public liability insurance.
The famous city centre is within close proximity of the property where the pedestrianised high street is just under a mile away and contains a variety of shops, independent boutiques, restaurants and recreational facilities such as the Theatre Royal and cinema. There are captivating walks through the cathedral streets leading to St. Catherine's Hill and the water meadows around St. Cross where walkers or cyclists can follow the Itchen Navigation south out of Winchester to local villages.
Winchester is very well connected via road and rail with London Waterloo being around 60 minutes from the city's railway station. The M3 allows easy access to London and the South coast connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport which serves a growing number of destinations worldwide. The A34 to the north provides access to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303 to the West Country.
