Bar End Road, Winchester

THE PROPERTY Charming end-of-terrace, brick-built Victorian cottage with three bedrooms and a well-designed interior with a contemporary feel.

The front door opens into the sitting room, with an exposed white painted brick wall, stripped, painted pine floorboards, a feature fireplace and with attractive wood shelving. The sitting room is open plan to the kitchen courtesy of a long beam within which our clients have cleverly installed subtle LED lighting. The kitchen area features both wooden and polished concrete work surfaces and a striking crescent shaped gas burner hob, with stylish extractor, all above a traditional electric oven and a range of high gloss white storage units and built in utilities. A particular feature of the kitchen is the in-built wooden child/dog safety gate which can usefully separate the space from the sitting room.

The kitchen opens into a lobby area with side access to the garden and a useful cloakroom, this in turn opens into a light filled garden room/dining room with French doors to the rear garden. Each of these spaces feature attractive wooden flooring flowing seamlessly throughout the ground floor.

Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first-floor landing, the exposed right hand brick wall providing an attractive feature. There are two double bedrooms of about equal size, and a good size single room to the rear. The family bathroom features a large walk-in shower with and a fitted basin over a vanity unit with a mirrored storage unit above.

The property has, in many rooms, central heating cleverly installed within the skirting boards, leaving walls free and easy to decorate or furnish.

The rear of the house is clad with natural Larch wood which has faded to an attractive silver grey and lends a very contemporary and striking look to the outside space. The westerly facing garden area, laid with decking, provides an excellent space in which to relax or enjoy summer entertaining. A gate leads up a few steps to a parking area, where our client currently leases a private space from Winchester City Council for £650pa, which is in addition to permit parking.

Bar End is a thriving, up and coming area of Winchester, close to the town centre with it's unique mix of everyday shops and services, historic architecture, bustling street scene, Theatre, Arts and cultural attractions and fine dining experiences. Along the road is the recently built Winchester Sport and Leisure Park where facilities include gymnasiums, squash courts, climbing facilities and an Olympic sized swimming pool.

The area has recently attracted significant investment with the creation of the popular Winchester Sport and Leisure Park and is particularly well sited for access to the M3 and the A31. The main line railway station is approximately 1.2 miles away on foot and a very short drive by car or bus or bike. The property is in catchment for All-Saints C of E Primary School and The Westgate School, as well as Peter Symonds College for 6th form education.

The property is currently used as Airbnb accommodation and therefore, subject to negotiation, some of the furniture within the property may be available for inclusion with the sale.

The property is freehold and has all mains services connected. Council Tax band C and EPC D
