North Walls, Winchester, SO23 8DB

This striking period home sits behind an attractive façade and offers generous, well-balanced family accommodation right in the heart of the city. A recessed front door, set behind a neatly landscaped courtyard, opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the front of the house, the principal reception room is an elegant space, complete with an open fireplace, fitted shelving and ornate ceiling cornicing. The current vendors have decorated beautifully and instilled a lovely style and personality throughout. Towards the centre of the home, a cosy family room/snug provides a relaxed living area, flowing naturally through to the social kitchen. The kitchen is a particular highlight, having been widely extended to create a bright and sociable kitchen/dining/family space. The whole space enjoys the benefit of underfloor heating. A large lantern roof light floods the room with natural light, while bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the garden from a bright reading nook. The kitchen itself is stylishly appointed with a range of sleek handleless units, solid Caesarstone work surfaces and an integrated dishwasher, along with a Rangemaster cooker with five-ring hob. Upstairs, the first floor offers a generous principal bedroom to the front, with fitted wardrobes and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms on this level, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The second floor provides an additional double bedroom, enjoying attractive elevated views across the city. OutsideThe rear garden, which gets plenty of sunshine during the summer, is beautifully arranged, with a paved patio area immediately behind the house, ideal for outdoor dining. The remainder is laid to lawn and framed by mature flower and shrub borders, creating a private and established feel. Towards the end of the garden, a shingled seating area has been positioned to make the most of the evening sun. A rear access gate leads directly to off-road parking. The large garage is equipped with a remote-controlled roller door, as well as power, lighting and useful storage in the pitch. LocationThe property is superbly positioned for convenient access (10-minute walk) to the mainline railway station, offering direct links to London in around an hour, as well as a 5-minute walk to the city centre with its excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafés and cultural amenities, including the theatre, cinema and the historic cathedral. It is also moments from the attractive River Park and Winnall Moor Nature Reserve. The house also falls within the catchment area for well-regarded local schools, including St. Bedes Primary School and Westgate Secondary School.
