St. James Lane, Winchester, SO22

A wonderful town house of great character and generous proportions with period features throughout and accommodation arranged over four floors totalling in excess of 3,500 sq ft.

The entrance hall opens both onto the elegant drawing room with feature fireplace and views to the front as well as the sitting room, also with views to the front, which opens onto the dining room via full height double doors. The kitchen/breakfast room extends to the full width of the property and is traditionally fitted with French doors leading out the garden. There is also a w.c. to this level.

The main bedroom is another highlight of the property and benefits from the tremendous outlook. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, both served by a large family bathroom and a separate family shower room. There is a small reading room that opens onto a balcony and an additional w.c..

The guest bedroom occupies the second floor and is served by an en suite shower room.

The lower ground floor offers versatile accommodation that could be configured that could served as a self-contained flat if required with two further reception rooms (one of which could easily function as further bedroom), and a large utility room (with shower), and benefits from its own independent external access. There is also a w.c. and boiler room.

Outside

Electric wrought iron gates open onto the driveway which leads to the front of the house, is flanked by the part walled front garden which is mainly laid to lawn, and provides parking for several vehicles. There is an attractive octagonal garden store with power connected. The rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy courtesy of a charming flint wall and has been laid out and terraced to create good, low maintenance, entertaining space.
