West End Terrace, Winchester, SO22

The Property:

A simply outstanding period townhouse with internal accommodation exceeding 3,600 ft². This substantial property dates back to 1840, with a large, yet sympathetic, extension which combine to create a truly magnificent city townhouse of opulent proportions. Great care has been taken during the present owner’s stewardship to retain and preserve the wealth of character features that adorn this beautiful home; high ceilings are finished with impressive cornicing and picture rails, fireplaces with marble surrounds and large multi-pane sash windows are in situ throughout.

Immediately on entering, you are greeted by a magnificent entrance hall featuring an impressive central staircase with sweeping, traditional Victorian mahogany handrails that run the full extent of the staircase. The entrance hall leads to one of the downstairs cloakrooms and the ground floor study. Access is also provided to the lower ground floor, where there is a storage cellar, wine cellar and coal cellar, as well as another cloakroom.

The upper ground floor hosts a family room, formal dining room and large kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of beech kitchen units with granite worksurfaces, an integrated AGA and a lovely box bay window to the rear. There is a utility room and walk-in pantry. The kitchen also leads to a front foyer, serving as an alternative primary entrance, and the inner hallway.

The beautiful staircase rises to the first floor, home to the most splendid 26’ sitting room with twin sash windows and wonderful views from its elevated vantage point. The principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom commands one end of the first floor and enjoys the most wonderful views to the east and south. A shower room accompanies two further bedrooms on this floor. The second floor is home to a large guest bedroom with accompanying bathroom.

Outside there is a small front courtyard leading to the front door. The rear garden is a real joy; a hive of colour and home to some wonderful plants and shrubs in brimming beds and borders. There is a detached studio with adjoining potting shed. The double garage provides secure parking for two vehicles and has a pedestrian door to the side and driveway parking in front.

The Location:

West End Terrace offers sustainable lifestyle opportunities with many of the city's amenities within a short walk. Whilst the enclosed garden is a delight, if more space to let off energy is needed the Arbour is a little further than a 'stone's throw' away. The mainline rail station is around a five minute walk, with journey times to London Waterloo in under an hour and direct trains to Southampton, Basingstoke and beyond.
