Colebrook House is a rare, fully renovated Grade II* townhouse in the heart of Winchester, restored to combine historic character with 21st-century comforts. Set at the end of a quiet street, the house offers nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms and generous reception rooms with high ceilings, exposed floorboards and multiple period fireplaces. The property sits within over half an acre of walled gardens with a clear running stream and direct views of Winchester Cathedral — a secluded city-centre oasis ideal for a large family who value provenance and space.
The recent sensitive restoration includes a full rewire, replumb, roof renovation and smart cast-iron radiators, together with a bespoke kitchen, integrated appliances and useful ancillary rooms (larder, pantry, plant room, utility/boot room). Off-street parking is provided by a garage and courtyard space. Excellent local schools, short walks to the city centre and convenient transport links make this a practical family home as well as a statement historic residence.
Important practical points are presented plainly: the house’s Grade II* listing brings statutory constraints that will complicate future alterations and maintenance; tenure details are not provided and should be clarified; crime statistics in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which may affect security considerations and insurance. The third-floor attic rooms are currently used for storage and may require conversion work for regular use.
This is a property for buyers who prize architectural history, generous private grounds and central living with strong schools and transport links nearby. It will particularly suit a family or buyer prepared to accept listed‑building responsibilities while enjoying a comprehensively renovated, characterful home.
