Spacious two-bed with parking and communal garden near Winchester’s shops and riverside.
Grade II listed Georgian ground-floor apartment with strong period features
A spacious, characterful ground-floor apartment set within a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of Winchester. High ceilings, sash windows, original fireplaces and exposed floorboards give the home strong period character, while a contemporary kitchen and two modern bathrooms provide everyday comfort. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite; a second double bedroom and generous sitting/dining room complete the layout.
Practical strengths include a private allocated parking space accessed from North Walls, a landscaped communal garden reached from the kitchen, and a very long lease with share of freehold (c.985 years). The apartment measures about 1,056 sq ft, offering unusually generous proportions for a city-centre flat and strong potential for long-term rental or comfortable city living.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: alterations will be restricted and may add cost and delay to any refurbishment. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no obvious insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be needed. Annual service charge and communal costs average £1,905, with a small ground rent of £75 — details should be confirmed by a buyer’s solicitor.
This location suits someone who values historic character and central convenience: riverside walks, independent shops, good schools and rail links to London are all within easy reach. However, the marketing information records a very high local crime level, which prospective purchasers should investigate further and factor into security or insurance considerations.
