Sunny cottage garden and scope for garage conversion near city centre.
Double-fronted period house with strong original proportions
A handsome double-fronted period home in Hyde, Winchester, offered for the first time in over 100 years. The house combines generous room proportions and original character with a light-filled modern kitchen and practical ground-floor shower room. Two well-sized reception rooms and two double bedrooms give comfortable family accommodation in a highly regarded city location.
The south-facing cottage-style front garden is a sunny, private spot for relaxing or entertaining. An integrated garage offers scope for added living space or storage, subject to planning permission, while permit parking is available on-street. The property sits within strong school catchments for St Bede and Westgate schools and is an easy walk to the city centre and train station.
Buyers should note the house is solid brick and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; some updating or targeted refurbishment will be needed to modernise heating efficiency and decoration. There is no known flood risk, broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and the home is sold with no forward chain. The location’s historic charm comes with above-average local crime statistics — worth considering for buyers prioritising security.
This property suits buyers seeking a period residence to personalise — families wanting proximity to excellent schools, or investors seeking conversion or improvement potential. With sympathetic updating, the home presents a rare opportunity to create a characterful Winchester address in a sought-after neighbourhood.
