About this home
Occupying a prime position on Winchester’s historic City Road, this attractive ground-floor apartment combines plenty of character with a highly convenient central location. The building itself makes a great first impression, with its striking brick façade and distinctive mock-Tudor gables, while large windows allow plenty of natural light into the apartment. Inside, the property opens into a generous open-plan living and dining room, where a large bay window creates a bright and welcoming space. A feature fireplace adds further character and provides a focal point to the room, which offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen sits just off the main living area, giving it a sense of separation while keeping the overall layout open and sociable. It is well equipped with an integrated hob, good worktop space and plenty of storage, making it practical for everyday use. A central hallway leads to a large storage cupboard and the bathroom, which is fitted with a bath and shower over, along with space for a washing machine and additional storage.
The bedroom is a particularly good size, comfortably accommodating substantial furniture and storage. From here, a door leads out onto a private balcony, providing a pleasant outdoor space and allowing plenty of fresh air and natural light into the room. The building dates back to the early 1900s and was originally used as a school, with its history still reflected in the character and proportions of the property today.
Just moments from Winchester city centre, the apartment is ideally placed for enjoying the city’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions. Winchester railway station is also within easy reach, while the nearby M3 and A34 provide good road links for commuters. Overall, the property offers an appealing combination of period character, practical living space and an excellent central location.
