Description

This charming Victorian home has been thoughtfully reconfigured over two floors to provide balanced and versatile
accommodation, further enhanced by a detached garden studio. The front door opens into a welcoming living space with a feature fireplace containing a wood-burning stove that creates a natural focal point and a cosy atmosphere in the cooler months. A comfortable and characterful room that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house. Positioned between the sitting room and the kitchen is the dining room that offers an ideal setting for both everyday meals or more formal entertaining, maintaining a sense of flow while retaining clearly defined areas. To the rear, the kitchen stretches to almost 20 feet in length and provides an impressive run of worktops and cabinetry. There are a range of high-quality built-in appliances that include an induction hob, oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Rooflights introduce excellent natural light, and double doors open directly on to the south-facing garden, encouraging indoor-outdoor living. A practical ground floor cloakroom and utility area add further convenience.

Upstairs, a central landing gives access to three well-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom is to the rear of the house and is a generous double, accompanied by a second double bedroom at the front, and a third room that could comfortably serve as a nursery, guest bedroom or home
office. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Overall, a beautifully restored period home in one of Winchester's most special settings. The flexible and well considered layout will appeal to young professionals, ‘lock-up-and-leave' buyers, young families or those seeking a manageable and stylish home close to the city centre.

Outside
The south-facing garden is a stylish and private outdoor space, paved in generous stone slabs for a clean, contemporary finish with raised beds ready for planting by one's own design. Enclosed by timber fencing and a neighbouring brick and flint wall, the space feels private and nicely sheltered.

There is ample space for a dining table and casual seating, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxed evening drinks. Double doors from the kitchen allow the courtyard to
function as a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months. Low maintenance, practical and hugely
inviting. The detached garden studio measures over 13 feet and offers valuable additional space, ideal for home working, a gym or a creative retreat. There is lighting, heating and options to connect to high-speed broadband, offering a unique and appealing space for whatever one would desire.

Location

Canon Street is one of the city's most sought-after Cathedral
Streets within the historic centre and just moments from the world-renowned Cathedral, dating back to the late 11th century. The property is surrounded by a variety of period cottages and homes steeped in local history in this charming location, 0.4 miles from the pedestrianised high street. Canon Street is notable for its tranquillity and enviable proximity to Winchester College, the Wykeham Arms and Kingsgate Wine & Provisions, a very useful local convenience store.

The nearby cathedral grounds (0.3 miles) bring you into central Winchester and The Square that leads to the high street where there is a wide selection of shops, independent boutiques, restaurants, bars and recreational facilities such as the Theatre Royal, local cinema and the Great Hall. Winchester offers a fine balance of history, culture, leisure pursuits and a thriving social scene. Whilst centrally located, the property benefits from many attractive walks, cycles and runs directly from the front door, through the college grounds and on to St Cross, the water meadows and St Catherine's Hill that offers incredible views over the city.

Winchester is also home to The Pilgrims' School, Winchester College, St Swithun's and Princes Mead School, all of which are a particular draw to the city. There is an excellent choice of state schools in Western Primary, Westgate School, Kings' School and the highly regarded Peter Symonds Sixth Form College. The city is very well connected via road and rail with London Waterloo accessible via a fast service in under 60 minutes from the city's railway station. The M3 allows easy access to London, the New Forest and the South Coast, connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport, which serves a growing number of destinations worldwide. The A34 to the north provides access to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303 to the West Country.
