Summary - Southgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 SO23 9DZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-finished city-centre one-bed with cathedral views and easy rail links..
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with cathedral views
A bright top-floor one-bedroom apartment set within a Victorian townhouse, positioned in the heart of Winchester with direct views towards the cathedral. The open-plan sitting room and contemporary fitted kitchen benefit from good natural light and a high-quality finish, including underfloor heating and a secure-entry system. The property is offered with no forward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking city-centre living and excellent rail links to London.
Practical details suit a range of buyers: gas-fired central heating, a luxury bathroom, and a long lease (about 115–116 years remaining). Service charge and ground rent are modest for city-centre accommodation (service charge £800 pa, ground rent £250 pa) but ground rent reviews apply — these and other legal points should be checked by a purchaser’s solicitor. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks. The apartment occupies a converted attic/top floor level with reduced headroom in places and lower ceiling heights than lower floors. The building sits in an area recorded as having very high crime levels — prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications. Tenure is leasehold, so future owners must accept service charges and ground rent obligations.
Overall, this apartment offers a compact, well-finished city-centre home with superb location, cathedral views and easy commuter access. It will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking a turnkey, centrally located property, but those sensitive to headroom, lease costs or local crime statistics should investigate further before committing.
