Description

Occupying the entire top floor of this sought-after city-centre development, this impressive penthouse apartment offers stylish, contemporary living in the heart of Winchester. Designed with modern lifestyles in mind, the standout feature is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, creating a sociable hub for everyday living, entertaining friends or working from home.

The apartment extends to approximately 951 sq ft and provides well-balanced accommodation, including a principal bedroom, two further bedrooms and modern bathroom facilities, making it equally appealing to professionals, couples, young families or those seeking a lock-up-and-leave city base.

The elevated position and exclusive top floor setting create a sense of privacy, while lift access from street level adds everyday convenience.

OUTSIDE A particular highlight of the property is the exceptional private roof terrace, measuring approximately 18'4" x 17'5". Offering a rare outdoor space in the centre of Winchester, it provides the perfect setting for summer entertaining, evening drinks with friends or relaxed weekend breakfasts in the sun. With elevated views across the city's characterful skyline, the terrace is equally suited to unwinding after work or hosting guests against a unique historic backdrop
