The first floor offers two excellent double bedrooms, each with its own character. The principal bedroom features a charming balcony, plentiful space for free-standing furniture to complement the built-in wardrobes and an en suite featuring both bath and shower, making it an incredibly appealing suite. Bedroom two, set at the front of the house, is a bright, appealing room again of generous proportions with built-in wardrobes. A full-height angled, bay-style window adds character. This level also includes the family bathroom, neatly arranged and spacious.

The top floor is home to a dual-aspect third bedroom, another superbly sized room, this time with good eaves storage and striking views over Winchester’s rooftops towards the cathedral.

Externally, the property benefits from a good-sized, smartly landscaped, south-facing garden, providing a very private, low-maintenance outdoor space with a super outlook towards the cathedral.
