A charming Victorian two-bedroom terraced house just a short, picturesque walk from Winchester Cathedral and the city centre. The ground floor is sensibly laid out with a front sitting room featuring an open fireplace, central kitchen and dining area, and a utility and bathroom set to the rear. Upstairs offers two double bedrooms with fitted storage.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or professional couple who value location and period character. Commuters benefit from the attractive river walk to the mainline station (about a mile) and easy access to the South Downs, local restaurants and green walks. The house is freehold with an average overall size and an efficient mains gas boiler and radiators.
There are some practical considerations: the small garden is overgrown and needs landscaping and a deck area refresh; the brick walls likely lack insulation; double glazing is older (installed before 2002). Parking is on-street/permit only, and local crime is above average—factors to weigh alongside the location and strong local schools.
With some targeted updates (insulation, modern glazing where needed and garden work) this period terrace offers comfortable living close to the city centre and good long-term potential in a very affluent area.
