The Location:

Armoury Cottage was constructed in 1996 in a period style and forms part of the Lower Barracks within the Peninsula Barracks Development. Situated on Gar Street, the property is nestled between an imposing Grade II listed period building converted into large houses and Searles House, which itself is one of the finest buildings in central Winchester and home to the Museum of the Royal Hampshire Regiment. It is beautifully tucked away off Southgate Street and remarkably quiet, yet within walking distance of all the city's amenities as well as lovely walks beside the river through the water meadows, around the College and Cathedral Close. Royal Hampshire County Hospital is also less than a mile away. Communications are excellent with fast access on to the M3 north to London or south to the M27 coastal motorway. There is a mainline station to London Waterloo with a fast and regular commuter service, Southampton International Airport, and the European ferry port at Portsmouth. Schools in Winchester are first class, with St. Bede primary school nearby being highly sought after. There is a wide variety of further state and private schools in the area including Pilgrims and Winchester College a short walk away, Twyford School, Peter Symonds Sixth Form College and St. Swithun's School is just two miles out of the city.
