Kingsgate Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

A beautifully presented property located in the one of the City's most desired back streets near to the Cathedral

Description

An exceptionally well presented city townhouse, with spacious rooms arranged across three floors. Designed by one of Winchester's most revered architects, Huw Thomas, with the design of single period house and yet cleverly configured as two townhouses and three private apartments.

Built in 2008, the current owners have further enhanced the interior with a comprehensive range of improvements, including a stunning new orangery style ground floor extension, which then replaced the smaller original conservatory. Some of the key features of the design are, the oak and glass banisters, wooden floorings, the high ceilings and vaulted top floor bedrooms and balustraded balcony. The owners have also integrated AV media system as installed by Bang and Olufsen. Upon entering the welcoming reception hall, doors lead to the principal rooms of a front snug/media room, a cloakroom/WC and an open-plan kitchen/dining room which has a re-fitted comprehensive range of fitted units with high end Neff appliances, which include a steam oven, multifunction microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and combi washer/dryer. This room then continues through to a superb new addition of the lantern roof orangery that then opens out on the private rear garden.

From the first floor galleried landing there are two double bedrooms, with built-in wardrobes and a main bathroom. From the second floor galleried landing, there is double bedroom
with built-in wardrobes and en suite, a principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, balustrade balcony, en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes. The loft space is both large and fully boarded with lighting and a retractable ladder.


The property has a delightful landscaped rear garden, which is both secluded and partially walled. Practically, there are external power points, a water tap, secure garden shed and a convenient gated access to the front around the side of the property. At the front there is the means to use a communal bike store and this property has two well-lit allocated parking spaces and own EV car charging point.
