St. Faiths Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

A beautifully presented home at the heart of St Cross

Description

This wonderful Victorian terraced house affords an abundance of period charm, with many retained features, which blend seamlessly with the more recent updates and additions. The property has been extended to the rear with a delightful garden living space and a large loft conversion which serves as a good sized guest bedroom. From a gated walled front garden, there is a notable welcoming feeling from the entrance hall that leads through to the front living space. The front living space is essentially a double reception room, with a lovely bay window at the front, an open fireplace and separate wood burner. A doorway leads through to the kitchen area and cloakroom, with a superb garden room with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors on to the rear garden. A side door also leads into a private yet useful inner courtyard which allows the natural westerly light to transfer into the front living room. (Planning permission reference 21/01019/ HOU included extension into the side return for which foundations already in place.) The bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room located on the first floor and a large second floor loft bedroom with a good amount of accessible eaves storage.

Outside, the west facing rear garden has been meticulously maintained around an attractive landscaping, which incorporates a central lawn with flower/shrub borders, leading to a large garden shed (with electrical power and lighting), greenhouse and a convenient pedestrian rear gate. There is wall mounted water tap as well as water butt to the rear of the garden.

Location

St. Faith's Road is situated approximately 1 mile to the south of Winchester in an area known as St Cross. The location is particularly well known for its access to the ‘Water Meadows' and the pleasant walks they afford into the City Centre, through the ancient part of the city, passing Winchester College, Pilgrims and the world-renowned cathedral. The pedestrianised High street contains a wide variety of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Winchester's thriving community also supports a local cinema, theatre, discovery centre & library, sports and leisure village and a selection of historic museums.

Communications are excellent, with the main line railway station (around 1 mile away) running a service to London Waterloo (approximately 59 minutes), and the M3 to the east provides excellent access to London, the Midlands via the A34, the west via the A303 and the south coast and New Forest via the M27.

Schools in Winchester are first class, with the highly sought after St. Faith's primary school located within the street. There is a wide variety of further state and private schools in the area including Pilgrims, Winchester College, King's School(currently in catchment), and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.
