Situated on Winchester’s High Street, this two-bedroom first-floor flat blends period character with recent refurbishment. High ceilings, south-facing sash windows and a modern kitchen/breakfast bar create a bright, apartment-style living space ideal for professionals or first-time buyers who want central convenience and style.
Practical running costs require attention: the lease has 88 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,998 and a high stated ground rent (reported as £1,200). Heating is electric room heaters and the property uses secondary glazing and solid brick walls that likely lack modern insulation — further upgrades may be wanted to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
The location is the main draw: immediate access to shops, cafés, restaurants, cultural amenities and the rail station. On-street residents’ parking is available nearby, and excellent mobile signal and average broadband suit remote working. The flat’s size (about 662 sq ft) and recent redecoration make it move-in ready, with clear potential for longer-term value if lease or energy improvements are addressed.
Overall this is a centrally located, characterful apartment that will suit buyers prioritising location and style over low running costs. Be aware of the lease length, service charge and ground rent when considering affordability and future resale or mortgage options.
