Set just off Romsey Road in central Winchester, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a private south-facing patio and direct rear access, ideal for outdoor relaxing and easy commuting. At about 408 sq ft, the apartment has a sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom with bath and shower over — all finished with wooden flooring and neutral decor.
Practical ownership features include a newly extended lease (now 172 years), no forward chain and permit/on-street parking. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace in a conservation area, close to shops, restaurants and Winchester station (under half a mile), making it a strong option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property historically returned in excess of 5% when let.
Buyers should note the property’s compact overall size and that heating is by electric room heaters only; there is no gas central heating. Windows are secondary glazed and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation. Annual service charge is £1,644 and ground rent is £100 (scheduled £25 increase in 2038); lease and charges should be checked and confirmed by a buyer’s solicitor.
This apartment suits someone seeking a central, characterful Winchester base with private outdoor space and long lease security. It requires minimal decorative updating but has limited room sizes and modest running-cost considerations due to electric heating.
