Canon Street, Winchester, Hampshire

35A Canon Street is a stunning, expertly renovated three bedroom Victorian mid-terrace cottage in the heart of Winchester's conservation area, within striking distance of the Cathedral grounds, shops, pubs, sports facilities and countryside. Newly-refurbished to a very high standard, the property combines historic charm with a high-quality modern interior in the centre of the city.

The open, ground floor layout features high ceilings and daylight from double-glazed sash windows. The sitting room adjoins a kitchen/dining room with fitted units and appliances, and an open utility room leading to a WC and door to the charming courtyard garden. To the first floor is situated a spacious principal bedroom which includes large, shuttered double sash windows and a fitted cupboard. A second double bedroom and a substantial newly-fitted second-floor bedroom provide ample family or guest accommodation with views of the cathedral. The bathroom at the rear of the cottage includes a power shower, remotely-operated Velux window, luxurious free-standing bathtub and large vanity unit.

Believed to have been built in the 1840s, this three storey cottage was completely stripped back and
refurbished in 2023-2024, with works including a new roof; substantial bedroom with north and south dormer windows; new bathroom with power shower and free-standing bath; new ground-floor WC; new hand-built staircases and front door; insulated wood laminate ground flooring; replumbing with a new combination boiler; multi-fuel chimney flue; and complete replumbing and rewiring throughout. The feature sash windows have been fully refurbished and double-glazed, and fitted with custom-made shutters, all other windows have been replaced with easy-tomaintain uPVC. The brand new kitchen incorporates a fitted Neff oven and separate Neff combi oven/microwave, Neff induction hob and Miele dishwasher. The utility room features a utility sink, connections for a free-standing washer and dryer, and ample room for a large fridge freezer.

Outside, the attractive and quiet courtyard has a new hand-built closeboard fence and an insulated summer house with mains power and ethernet connectivity.

The property benefits from mains gas, electricity and water (all completely replaced from mains connections) and high-speed fibre broadband.

The house is situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Winchester conservation area, on the quietest part of a unique street that is famed both for its architectural importance and the warmth of the community.

The street is in the heart of Winchester’s ancient cathedral city centre including award-winning pubs, a convenient local general store, the amenities of first-class shopping within the pedestrian precinct, recreational and cultural facilities, together with an excellent selection of schools for all ages, both private and state, and a main line railway station which reaches London Waterloo in under an hour.

There are delightful walks from Canon Street through the Cathedral Close and along the banks of the River Itchen up to St Catherine’s Hill, a unique viewpoint over the historic city.

Access can be easily gained to the M3 motorway at junctions 10 or 11, the M3 in turn providing easy connections to the A34 and the M27 coastal motorway, which also provides access to the New Forest and Southampton International Airport.
