House For Sale £440,000
Chesil Terrace, Winchester, Hampshire

It is not often we see a home with so much character remaining and having been in the same ownership for over a hundred years. built by the current owners great-grandfather in the 1880's. The same tenant has been in situ since 1946 and limited modernisation has been carried out in this time, giving the new owner a blank canvas to create a truly special home.

Other houses within the terrace have created basement conversions as well as loft conversions subject to the necessary planning conditions. There is excellent opportunity to create a lovely home with just limited modernisation whether this be to reside in or as a buy to let investment.

The home is accessed through an unassuming archway on Chesil Street, by a pathway that leads to the five properties. There is a 'front garden' with ample space for planting as you wish.

The entrance hall leads onto a good size kitchen with pine panelled walls, this leads onto the dining room which has a feature fireplace as well as a useful understair cupboard. The sitting room looks over the rear towards the river.

Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms and a bathroom leading on from the principle bedroom. Some reconfiguration is required but there is ample opportunity to do so.

The home also benefits from a roomy cellar which is standing height, other properties have reconfigured this space to make a further reception room, there are many possibilities depending on your needs.

To the rear of the property is a useful outside loo which could be re-purposed to make an outside store, there is some private garden space to plant and add to, to create a lovely little haven. The main part of the garden streches along the side of the house and offers a stunning view of the river. Needing some maintenance however there is huge potential to create a realy city sanctuary.

Chesil Terrace is a prime location for all the amenities of the city including a theatre, cinema, tennis and squash club, a number of restaurants and bars together with a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo in about 1 hour.
