Set on desirable Parchment Street in central Winchester, this two-bedroom Victorian terrace combines period character with contemporary presentation. Light-filled sitting and dining rooms, bespoke cabinetry and a modern fitted kitchen create a comfortable living environment for city-centre life. The property includes a rare private garage and a low-maintenance rear garden with a decked terrace for outdoor entertaining.
Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in storage and the bathroom is stylish and well-appointed, enhancing everyday comfort. The house is well placed for walking to the High Street, mainline station and local amenities, making it suitable for professionals seeking a central base or a cash buyer looking for a lettable or short-term-hold asset.
Important: there are only 45 years remaining on the lease. Many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending on this property unless the lease is extended; this presents a significant financing hurdle for buyers requiring a mortgage. Ground rent is nominal (£1 p.a.) and the garage appears on a separate title, which will require additional legal checks.
Other practical notes: the terrace is solid-brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and broadband/mobile signal are strong. The area has higher-than-average crime statistics, so prospective buyers should factor security and insurance considerations into their plans.
