Chesil Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 0HU

Three 18th-Century Cottages, Now One Extraordinary Grade II Listed Family Home. Sympathetically restored in 2016 to blend traditional features with modern style, on a historic City Centre street with the Cathedral and water meadows only a short walk away.

You really can enjoy the best of old and new with this carefully restored family home, conveniently positioned just a few minutes' walk from the Cathedral and the High Street.

The ground floor runs the full width of what were originally three separate 18th century cottages. There are three reception rooms, with beams and solid oak parquet flooring throughout. Each room has its own unique character - the sitting room with a Charnwood wood burner being particularly cosy on chilly winter evenings. 

The modern fitted kitchen was designed and installed by John Lewis of Hungerford and fitted with NEFF appliances and a plumbed in water softener. It opens into a breakfast room, and beyond that a handy utility room - with stone floors and underfloor heating in the kitchen/breakfast area. 

The first floor can be reached by staircases at both ends of the house. There are three double bedrooms with built-in storage and a fourth room facing the garden with high-spec data cabling - ideal when working from home, streaming or gaming. Both bathrooms are modern and stylish, with underfloor heating and heated towel rails.

For a home this close to the city centre the back garden is a real surprise. Private and peaceful, it has a sunny patio terrace, well-established borders and a canopy of mature trees at the bottom of the garden that means you’re not overlooked. 

A secure keypad gate gives side access for bikes, deliveries and tradespeople without coming through the house.

There’s no parking on Chesil Street, but resident and visitor permit parking is available nearby. You also have the option to buy a discounted season ticket from the council for the multi-storey carpark located behind the back garden. Having said that, the central location means you may not even need a car. There’s plenty of shops and excellent places to eat on your doorstep, with the river and Water Meadows just a short walk away.

Winchester station - with direct trains to London Waterloo taking less than an hour - is only a fifteen-minute walk away.

This home has been part of Winchester's story for over three centuries - and now it could be part of yours. I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
