Barnes Close, Winchester, SO23

The Property:
Tucked away and set back from the pretty street in St Cross, Palmerston Court enjoys peace and quiet, and a great location. Upon entering the property is a spacious entrance way. To the front of the property are the two double bedrooms, both with plenty of natural light, built in storage and the principal bedroom enjoys access to the very generous private terrace. Going through the property, to the right is the bathroom and separate cloakroom, both with underfloor heating. To the left is the extremely spacious reception room with views of the garden. Given its size this could be used as a sitting/dining room but currently works well as a sitting room and study space given the natural light and double aspect. The kitchen has been refurbished and kept to a high standard and has room for a table. Externally, in addition to the private terrace, are beautifully maintained communal gardens which residents enjoy. The double garage is very generous and is currently used for parking as well as a home-gym and generous storage area.
