A two-bedroom duplex maisonette in Winchester city centre, this property is well placed for commuters and city living. It is currently let for £1,100 pcm, offering an immediate rental income stream and straightforward management for an investor seeking central stock. The apartment occupies the top floor and benefits from large windows, good natural light and a compact, practical layout across 68 sqm (716 sqft).
Practical running costs are clear: modest annual service charge (£175.88) and a nominal ground rent (£10). Building fabric dates to the 1950s–60s with cavity walls that appear uninsulated, and the EPC sits at Band D, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs if desired. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
Location is a primary strength: a short walk to Winchester station, extensive local amenities and strong broadband and mobile connectivity. Notable drawbacks for buyers are the leasehold tenure, the city’s higher crime statistic, and the single bathroom servicing two double bedrooms. Those factors should be weighed against the ready rental income and central position when considering viewings or offers.
