Hyde Abbey Road

THE PROPERTY A beautifully extended and characterful period cottage with a landscaped rear garden, ideally positioned just moments from Winchester city centre.

This delightful three-bedroom terraced home is situated in the highly sought-after Hyde area, on a quiet street renowned for its strong community spirit and popular annual street party. Perfectly located, the property is within easy reach of the mainline railway station and just a short walk from Winchester's vibrant and historic city centre.

Occupying a favourable position on the north side of the road, this home is one of the few to enjoy both a charming front garden and the benefit of rear access. A traditional quarry-tiled pathway leads to an inset storm porch and an attractive sage green front door with glazed panels, setting the tone for the character within.

The welcoming entrance hall features polished wooden flooring which flows seamlessly into the elegant sitting room. Here, a cosy cottage-style window seat and a contemporary wood-burning stove, set within an exposed brick fireplace, create a warm and inviting space. The sitting room opens into a spacious dining area, ideal for entertaining, with its own exposed brick feature fireplace and a stylish internal window connecting through to the kitchen.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the impressive kitchen has been thoughtfully extended across the full width of the property. Designed for modern living, it features underfloor heating and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, flooding the space with natural light from rooflights and overhead glazing. A sleek range of high-gloss wall and base units is complemented by polished granite worktops, while a bespoke central island provides excellent storage and workspace, as well as an ideal spot for informal dining or morning coffee. There is also ample space for relaxed seating, alongside a feature fireplace, enhancing the room's versatility.

A pine door with beautifully designed stained glass feature opens into a ground floor cloakroom with cleverly designed shower, which completes the downstairs accommodation.

On the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom two is a generous double room with vaulted ceiling, Velux window, exposed brick fireplace and built-in storage, enjoying views over the rear garden. Bedroom three is a well-proportioned single room. The family bathroom is stylishly appointed with a bath and shower over, WC, and wash basin with vanity storage.

The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious and elegant room, featuring built-in wardrobes flanking an original fireplace and a large window overlooking the street.

From the landing, a further staircase leads to a useful loft space*, currently utilised as storage and a playroom/home office (*see Agent's Note).

A generous sun terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, while a winding path leads past a water feature, fire pit and well-stocked beds of mature shrubs and trees. A double steel arch subtly divides the garden, creating distinct areas including a lawn ideal for play, as well as a bike storage unit and rear access gate.
