THE PROPERTY This beautifully presented three-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian home is tucked away in the highly sought-after Hyde area of Winchester, on a quiet no-through road. Originally an artisans' cottage, it retains much of its period charm with red brick elevations and character features, while also benefiting from a stylish modernisation and impressive extension.

A sheltered inset porch opens into the welcoming entrance hall, where polished oak floorboards flow through much of the ground floor. At the heart of the home is a generous sitting room, with space for a large corner sofa, fitted bookshelves and cupboards, and a fireplace with woodburning stove.
