Chesil Terrace, Winchester

RESIDENTS LOVE...

You can't beat this location - riverside living is sublime! It's so private and peaceful here, yet you're right in the middle of everything. It's a 4 minute walk to the high street and the water meadows are right on the doorstep with beautiful walks in each direction.

The house and garden are filled with light. It's south west facing so we have the most beautiful sunset over the cathedral. The kitchen catches the sunshine, the top bedroom has a wonderful view of the river and cathedral and in winter, the fireplace in the front room makes it so cosy.

The garden is really special. It's both private and welcoming; you can relax while watching people strolling along the other side of the river. We've had so many great get-togethers here - barbecues, family celebrations, friends dropping by. It's a house that draws people in.

Our children grew up with the freedom to walk to school, activities, or into town themselves. We always felt very safe here, and walking to and from home.
It has been a joy living here. We've felt fortunate every day, surrounded by friendly neighbours, beauty all around, and a home filled with light, warmth, and happiness. It truly is a special place.
