St. James Terrace, Winchester, SO22 4PP

The Property: A Grade II listed townhouse situated just to the west of The Peninsula Barracks, with spacious accommodation spread over four floors behind a most attractive colour washed façade, with inset sash windows. 17 St. James Terrace forms part of a delightful collection of houses which date back to the mid nineteenth century, with each property providing different aesthetics and layouts. The front garden is east facing, and the house is found behind a lawn with shrub borders and attractive climbing roses neatly enclosed by iron railings and a pedestrian gate with access to St. James Terrace. The rear is accessed via Crowder Terrace and has two off-road parking spaces. The property has period detailing throughout, with large sash windows that allow natural light to flood in the early morning and late afternoon. The garden to the rear is west facing and is low maintenance with raised beds and a rockery with steps to a gate that opens to the off-road parking. A wisteria adorns the side of the utility room wall, and the rest of the garden is walled with pretty brick and flint walls which mirror the rear façade of the house.

A welcoming hallway with a traditional front door and a fanlight window that allows natural light to flood into the ground floor. A double reception room comprises a sitting room to the front aspect with a fitted wood burning stove and an original marble fireplace. Double doors open into the dining room which has French doors that open to a Juliet balcony to the rear aspect. Both rooms have stripped and polished floorboards, high ceilings with picture rails and detailed ceiling cornice. The dual aspect kitchen has been refitted with a contemporary white kitchen, with slimline grey quartz countertops, twin ‘Siemens’ electric ovens with a warming drawer, as well as a fitted gas hob with pan drawers below. A separate utility room opens onto a boot room which in turn opens to the rear garden. The lower ground floor provides versatile space and comprises two rooms, which could be bedrooms, served by a separate shower room or further reception spaces.

A turning staircase with a polished mahogany handrail rises to the first floor, which has a handsome and well-proportioned drawing room with a sash window and a pair of French doors to a balcony, neatly enclosed with decorative iron railings. There are stripped and polished floorboards, high ceilings with a picture rail and ceiling cornice. The bathroom has twin washbasins, dry room with bench radiator, separated by a sliding glass door, opening into the wet room with a Victoria + Albert freestanding bath, and separate shower. The principal bedroom is situated on the second floor and has far reaching views to the front aspect over The Barracks and city.
