Forming part of the exclusive Austen House, created from a beautiful Victorian building which was formerly the Winchester Library, this stunning duplex apartment has a superb arrangement with living space on the ground floor with access to its own private terrace, and three bedrooms on the floor above. The location takes some beating too, on North Walls within the city confines and therefore a short walk from the host of amenities this historic city has to offer as well as within five minutes of the train station.

From the entrance hall doors open to the sitting room, which is dual aspect to the south and west aspects; the separate dining room, with a lobby area and an external door; and the kitchen which has handmade units, granite worktops and a full range of integrated appliances, leaving space for a breakfast table.

From the spacious hall stairs rise to the naturally lit landing which branches off to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The master bedroom has its own bathroom with a bath and separate shower and there are fitted wardrobes in this bedroom and in the second bedroom.

A pleasant terrace with trellis screening provides enough space to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine later in the day and perhaps create a herb garden for use in the kitchen with seasonally planted pots. The property is offered on the rental market from mid-July with an allocated parking space.

A monthly rent of £1,995 is sought and further details are available by calling the Hamptons office in Winchester on 01962 853046.
