Alexandra Terrace, St Cross

THE PROPERTY Rarely available in this much sought-after terrace is this stunning three bedroom Victorian cottage. Set in a private no-through road, just minutes from the City centre and the railway station, the property offers very flexible contemporary living space with spacious rooms, large double-glazed sash windows and modern bathrooms.

The front door leads up into the living room which is open plan to the kitchen area. A large sash window floods the room with light and built-in shelving and cupboards provide useful storage and display space. Wood effect flooring is in place throughout this area and runs through into the kitchen/dining area.

The fitted kitchen has a range of cream base and eye level storage and integrated units as well as an oven under a gas hob. From the kitchen is a useful utility space and a part glazed stable door leads to the garden.

A spiral staircase provides access to all floors. On the lower ground floor, a hallway with built in wardrobes and cupboards leads to the main bedroom. This is a large room with further built-in wardrobes and a glazed door opening onto a small external storage area and access up a set of steps to the garden. Across the hallway is a modern bathroom with freestanding slipper bath with clawed feet and separate shower cubicle. Controllable mood lighting, heated towel rail, white porcelain basin and a vanity unit add to the charm of this room.

On the first floor one of the bedrooms is currently used as an additional sitting room. This is a light and bright room with two large windows overlooking the garden and features wonderful views across Winchester. An inset feature fireplace provides a focal point and alcoves either side of the fireplace provide potential for display and storage space. A further double bedroom served by a stylish shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.

The top floor is an extended attic room, with a substantial dormer window offering beautiful views across Winchester, including the Cathedral, Winchester College and the water meadows and downland beyond. Whilst this space does not currently have building regulations approval, it is currently utilised as a home office, with eaves storage either side.

Outside: The rear garden, which can be accessed via the ground and lower ground floors, has been recently landscaped and improved by the current owners, creating a delightful space for enjoying sunny days and entertaining friends, as well as enjoying fabulous views across Winchester.

Schooling: The property falls within catchment for The Kings School, Stanmore primary school and Peter Symonds 6th form college. Nearby independent schools include Winchester College, St Swithun's, King Edward VI (with the school bus pick up point further up the St Cross Road), and preparatory schools such as The Pilgrims' School, Twyford School and Prince's Mead.

Location: The St Cross area is one of the prime residential locations of Winchester. The mix of ancient buildings, Roman, Norman and medieval as well as river walks, leafy gardens and wide tree lined streets, coupled with open playing fields and a flat walk into the town centre, past the walls of Winchester College and the Cathedral, all combine to make this an attractive and highly sought after place to live.
