THE PROPERTY A delightful four-bedroom Edwardian mid-terrace home, enviably positioned in an elevated setting just moments from Winchester city centre.

A charming cottage-style front garden sets the scene, leading to an attractive period front door set beneath a welcoming storm porch. The entrance hall runs through the heart of the home, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal living spaces.

Beautifully modernised and thoughtfully extended, the property now offers generous and versatile accommodation, including a full-width rear extension and a loft conversion that creates a superb principal suite. The result is a home perfectly suited to contemporary family living.

Built-in shelving and cupboards provide excellent storage, while the flexible layout allows for use as a playroom or additional reception area if desired.

The kitchen truly forms the heart of the home. Cleverly designed with skylights and Velux windows, alongside a wall of bi-fold doors, the space is flooded with natural light. Fitted with a range of contemporary base and eye-level units, integral appliances and polished wood worktops, it combines practicality with style. There is ample room for both dining and seating areas, making it a sociable and inviting space for everyday living.

The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both retaining attractive period features and benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary style, offering a bath with shower over and useful storage.

The second floor has been expertly converted to create a superb principal suite.
