House For Sale £2,500,000
THE PROPERTY
Kinellan has remained in the ownership of the same family for many years. It has been sympathetically extended and improved over the last 120 years, to combine a sense of space and well-proportioned opulence unlike many other homes.
From the first approach the property is imposing with its double bay fronted façade leading up to the entrance door. Opening into a magnificent entrance hall with double height ceilings to the first-floor landing, ornate cornicing and ceiling roses and doors through to the principal reception rooms. To the front of the property, you will find the sitting room and the library both with over 3m high ceilings and many of the original details from the Edwardian era. Further to these reception rooms you will find a television/family room and a beautiful music room which in turn opens through to a glass roofed atrium that connects to the very spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room and opens onto the west facing courtyard. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of solid units with a range of integrated appliances, including range style stove, double width Belfast sink and woodblock tops. The ceiling has been vaulted to continue the feeling of light and space. In addition, there is a walk-in utility/pantry and separate w/c. Stairs provide access to the lower ground floor cellar which would make a great den or wine store. On the first floor the split-level landing gives access to three double bedrooms, primary bathroom and two further single bedrooms and further staircase rising to the second floor.
The principal bedrooms are at the front of the property and both have open box bay windows with full length window shutters. The second floor has two further bedrooms, bath/shower room and additional play/attic room with ample eaves storage throughout.
EXTERNAL
With almost perfect symmetry the front is enclosed by a brick wall with pedestrian access on both sides and could create a wonderful in/out driveway (subject to obtaining the relevant consents). The side access then opens to the side patio garden with flagstone paving, planted borders with an array of flora and fauna and well-established shrubs, a raised lawn and rear gated access to the driveway parking and garage. The garage has been partly converted and currently used as an artist studio.
LOCATION
The property lies within the parish of St. Cross. Steeped in history, Winchester is England’s ancient capital city and former seat of King Alfred the Great. This bustling city seamlessly combines grand old architecture with 21st Century art, sculpture and world class attractions which includes the magnificent cathedral. The city itself offers a wide and varied selection of unique independent shops and historical attractions, along with a choice of fine dining general eateries, contemporary bars and cultural cinema and renowned theatre productions.
Winchester is perfectly located for the commuter, family or professional, within a 1 hour commute of London Waterloo by train. Road links are equally conveniently accessible with the M3, A34, A303 and M27 close to hand giving ease of access to The South Coast, The New Forest, Wiltshire and Dorset.
Winchester has some of the best schools in the county and is home to Winchester University and Winchester College - the oldest public school in the United Kingdom and the former school of our current prime minister.
