This recently refurbished one-bedroom apartment sits to the rear of a Georgian period building on Upper High Street, offering a quiet position with private rear garden access. The open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is double-aspect and light-filled; the kitchen has modern units and slimline worktops. The property benefits from double glazing, high ceilings and character sash windows that retain period charm while delivering contemporary comfort.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with a 999-year lease (982 years remaining) and all mains services connected. Annual service charges are approximately £2,000 and council tax is in Band B. The compact 440 sq ft layout suits a single occupant or couple, offering easy maintenance and strong rental appeal to nearby students and professionals.
Location is a major draw — equidistant between Winchester’s mainline railway station and the vibrant high street with shops, cafés and restaurants. Green spaces including Oram’s Arbour and the Water Meadows are within easy reach, and M3 links are accessible via junctions 9 and 10. EPC rating C and mains gas boiler with radiators provide efficient heating.
Buyers should note some important considerations: the building dates from the early 20th century with assumed solid brick walls and no added cavity insulation; periodic maintenance of period features may be required. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ decisions. Overall, the flat offers a low-maintenance, characterful base in a central Winchester location with strong appeal for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
