From this handsome Grade II listed townhouse on St Cross Road, on the outskirts of Winchester, there are inspiring views to St Catherine’s Hill. The view just gets better the higher up through the house you go with large sash windows looking out over the long garden which has a south easterly aspect and is fully enclosed.

The house is arranged over four floors with a versatile basement room extending the accommodation to a little over two thousand square feet. This room has a lightwell to the rear, is currently arranged as a bedroom with plenty of fitted storage but would also make a superb playroom or study. There is also a utility cupboard on this lower level and a wine cellar.

The front door opens to an entrance hall with wide oak floorboards and doors open to a cloakroom and two reception rooms, one which leads on to the beautifully fitted kitchen and breakfast room. Both reception rooms have traditional style fireplaces with fitted shelves and storage to the alcoves, and sash windows. The kitchen is kept light with a range of Shaker style units on the quarry tiled floor which flows through to the breakfast room from where French doors open to the garden.

The staircase winds its way up through the centre of the house giving access to elegant landings and four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room over the two floors.

Beautifully presented, the house is attractively decorated in keeping with the period features of polished floorboards, fireplaces and sash windows which set the scene.

The house falls within the parish of St Faith with the popular primary school just around the corner and the historical St Cross Church underpinning the local community, where the ancient buildings and gardens share the backdrop of the hill beyond.

Priced at £725,000 this is a very spacious period home in the highly desirable area of St Cross. Contact Belgarum in Winchester for more details on 01962 844460.
