Compact city-centre flat with communal garden and permit parking nearby..
Central Winchester location near cathedral and train station
Quietly tucked on Chesil Street, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable city-centre entry point close to the cathedral, riverside walks and the train station. The lounge/dining room feels bright and practical, complemented by a well-equipped kitchen, contemporary shower room and access to a communal garden — a rare outside space for central flats.
The flat is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, city-base property. Practical details are straightforward: permit parking is available from Winchester City Council, council tax is low and broadband/mobile coverage are strong. The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from secondary glazing.
Buyers should note several material points: the lease has 85 years remaining and will need prompt attention; annual service charges and a ground rent are payable. Heating is via electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas, and the property has a relatively small overall floor area. The wider area is affluent and well served, but local crime is reported above average.
Taken together, this flat offers central convenience and simple, low-maintenance living — best for someone wanting immediate access to Winchester with a realistic view of future lease and running-cost responsibilities.
