Shawford Road, Shawford, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21

A beautifully presented apartment set in a stunning setting with glorious views.

Description

Tucked away at the end of a private road in the heart of The Shawford Down, this impressive apartment forms part of an exclusive development of just 17 homes, completed in 2004. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a remarkably spacious open-plan living area, where French doors open onto a private rear balcony enjoying far-reaching views over the South Downs and the River Itchen.

Thoughtfully designed bespoke cabinetry subtly defines the living space, creating distinct areas for home working, dining, and relaxation. The kitchen has been newly fitted in a timeless modern style, featuring integrated NEFF appliances. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering lovely views across the beautifully maintained communal gardens and the river tributaries. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite with a separate shower, and both bathrooms have been newly refurbished to a high standard.

The landscaped communal grounds adjoin the South Downs, providing direct access to the picturesque Itchen Navigation Pathway. The property further benefits from two allocated parking spaces to the front of the building and ample storage for personal belongings and bicycles.

Shawford is ideally situated for commuters, offering a mainline railway station with regular services to London Waterloo in approximately 67 minutes.
