Description
Cheyney Court dates back to the mid-15th century and has a fascinating history, having originally served as the courthouse for the Bishop of Winchester, with jurisdiction over the local Soke and surrounding manors. More recently, the property was used by The Pilgrims' School as the Headmaster's House.
Following an extensive programme of renovation, Cheyney Court now presents a rare opportunity to rent a truly exceptional historic home, combining contemporary fixtures and fittings with an abundance of original period features and centuries of history.
The property extends to approximately 4,243 sq ft and offers remarkably spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The beautifully proportioned accommodation includes five bedrooms, a substantial sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, office and multiple bathrooms, alongside a useful utility, plant and storage areas.
The impressive 23ft sitting room provides a wonderful principal reception space, while the generous kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room offer excellent areas for family living and entertaining. The five bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, providing flexibility for family, guests and home working.
Every effort has been made to retain and complement the property's historic character while providing the comfort and specification expected of a modern home. The result is a distinctive residence that successfully blends period grandeur, architectural character and contemporary living.
Location
Situated within the Cathedral precinct, known as The Close, Cheyney Court occupies an enviable position within the historic heart of the city. The Close is set behind the Cathedral and is a secluded and tranquil location, yet only 5 minutes' walk from the High Street, Winchester College and home to The Pilgrims' School. The gated entrance to the close (Priors Gate) is locked at night with residents having their own keys for access.
