Tower Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

Rarely available, a handsome Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse of pleasing proportions, very conveniently positioned in the heart of the city. The house is wonderfully presented in a colour scheme appropriate to its age and demonstrates many of the features and all of the character one would hope for in a house of this era. Tower Street is only moments away from the city centre and despite its central position the house is excellently placed on a relatively quiet road.

Stone steps rise to the front door, which is positioned beneath an elegant original porch, giving access to the upper ground floor accommodation which comprises of a large, elegant sitting room with useful study area at one end. This appealing open plan room has sash windows at both ends, original cornicing, beautifully detailed ceiling, recessed spot-lighting and a lovely fireplace as a centrepiece, with built in cupboards and book shelves along one side. There is a cloakroom on this floor and the back door which gives access to the rear parking area.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where the kitchen, newly fitted in 2022, has ample units, a large central island, integrated appliances including twin Meile ovens (installed in 2024) and a KitchenAid gas hob, while a range cooker is positioned opposite. The kitchen is a high-spec Nolte Kitchen, installed as part of the 2022 remodel. Leading from the kitchen is the dining room with period fireplace, and there is a further study area near the stairs on this floor. The whole of this level is served by under-floor heating, and there are sash windows at each end.

The luxurious master suite covers the entire first floor and includes a large bedroom with fitted cupboards on either side of the period fireplace, stripped wooden floorboards and two beautiful sash windows. The generously proportioned bathroom was remodelled in 2022 and boasts a dressing area, hand basin mounted in a vanity unit, w.c., cast iron rolltop bath and a walk-in shower.

Stairs rise to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms and a newly renovated family bathroom, also completed in 2022, all with sash windows. Stairs rise to an attic room located on the third floor.

The outside area is mostly at the front of the house where the pretty courtyard garden can be found, with flower beds surrounding a seating area, and a trellised fence providing a good level of privacy. At the rear of the house is a small raised patio area and steps leading down to off road parking.
