Alswitha Terrace, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

Set on the prominent corner of Alswitha Terrace in the highly desirable Hyde area of Winchester, this beautiful period property is not only a charming family home but also a piece of local history, offered with no forward chain. Originally operating as a bakery in the early 20th century, the house was once run by local baker George Lovelock, who famously displayed a sign in the window that read, “No burnt cakes sold here.”


Today, the property has been sympathetically extended and thoughtfully modernised, offering spacious and well-balanced accommodation over three floors. Perfectly positioned for easy access to the mainline railway station and Winchester’s historic city centre, it also falls within the catchment of the highly regarded St Bede’s Primary and Westgate School.

Upon entering, the large hallway welcomes you into the home. To the right is a bright and sociable open-plan kitchen and dining space, fitted with a double oven, gas hob, and integrated dishwasher. This area is flooded with natural light from double doors that open out to the garden, ideal for entertaining. On the opposite side of the hallway, you’ll find a generous sitting room, a convenient downstairs shower room, and a versatile study.

The basement has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile room, which could be used as a games room, or fifth bedroom with built-in storage, offering flexibility for guests, a teenager’s retreat, or a hobby room.

Upstairs, the first floor features four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en suite bathroom, while a sleek and modern family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

The rear garden is enclosed and secure, featuring a patio area for outdoor dining and a lawn bordered by mature shrubs. At the end of the road, Hyde recreation ground offers an extensive green space.
