St James Mews, Winchester

THE PROPERTY Exquisite contemporary town house in St Cross, beautifully tucked away and hidden from the road, in this prestigious mews development built in 2015 by Bargate Homes. There are enviable far reaching views to Winchester Cathedral and St Catherines Hill, and the property is served by a lift to all floors.

No eye for detail was missed in this design, where a wide and welcoming hallway leads through to the utility room, the lift area and through to the pedestrian door to the underground car parking area.

On the first floor is the kitchen/living/dining room, which has been beautifully fitted with a range of high gloss white units, inset with appliances, under a granite work surfaces. There is a wall of glass with windows and doors opening to the terrace, which is westerly facing, filling the kitchen with light throughout the afternoons and evenings throughout the summer.

The second floor has a guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes, ensuite shower room, and doors onto a little terrace area. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, one of which also has an ensuite shower room, and there is a modern family bathroom.

The third floor is fabulous, and is taken up entirely with the principal bedroom. This has a range of fitted wardrobes, and doors leading out to a terrace, which has incredible far reaching views across to the Cathedral and St Catherine's Hill. There is a contemporary ensuite bathroom, with freestanding bath and walk in shower cubicle, double basins inset into vanity units, and a door to the cloakroom.

The terraced garden area has been beautifully laid with contrasting tiles, and is westerly facing, yet also benefits from the southerly sun. Whilst the property itself is beautifully versatile, thanks in no uncertain part to the lift which serves all floors, the underground car parking is a particular and unexpected joy for a property so close to the City centre, and is approx. 1000 sq ft, enabling secure parking for several vehicles. It is accessed via an electric roller door, in front of which is parking for a further vehicle.

Hayward House is set within St James Mews, and is enviably close to the cinema, Hotel Du Vin, the High Street, and Winchester Cathedral.
