This striking Victorian semi-detached house on St. Cross Road offers generous family accommodation across multiple floors, combining period detail with useful modern upgrades. High ceilings, tall bay windows and stripped polished floorboards give the principal rooms strong character, while a large triple-aspect kitchen/dining room with AGA and French doors opens directly to a beautifully landscaped, west-facing garden — ideal for evening sun and alfresco dining.
A self-contained studio at the garden end provides flexible space for guests, an au pair or a home office; it includes its own double bedroom and shower room and could also generate rental income. Practical comforts include triple glazing, mains gas heating with boiler, radiators and underfloor heating, useful built-in storage and a separate garden store/workshop with pedestrian access to Edgar Road.
Location is a major asset: St. Cross is among Winchester’s most desirable addresses with easy walks to the Water Meadows and City Centre, excellent schools nearby and good commuter links by rail and road. For buyers prioritising lifestyle, the layout and outside space suit growing families who value both historic charm and contemporary living.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should inform viewing decisions: the property is Council Tax Band G (2025/26 rate £3,750.59) and has an EPC rating of D, both adding to ongoing running costs. Parking is residents’ on-street permit parking rather than private driveway parking — the store/garage at the rear is primarily for storage and bicycle use rather than regular car parking.
