Winchester, SO23

The Property:
This characterful period house has been cleverly extended to the ground floor, creating a wonderful 'live-in' kitchen/dining room, perfect for contemporary family living. Many traditional character features of the house have been preserved, including the tiled fireplace in the sitting room, the exposed wooden floorboards in the reception rooms, the leaded-light door to the kitchen and the sash windows. The first floor is home to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A loft conversion, with Velux skylights, could be used as a study or an occasional double bedroom. Bifold doors in the kitchen/dining room open to an outside dining terrace, with steps up to the rear garden, with a raised lawned area and patio, two wooden garden sheds and a rear-access gate.

The Location:
Hyde is superbly positioned for easy access to Winchester Mainline Railway Station (links to London Waterloo in approximately 60 minutes), and the city with its High Street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the city's historic Cathedral. The house is a short walk from the local park and nature reserve, and it is situated in the catchment for popular and highly rated local schools, namely St. Bede Primary, Westgate Secondary and Peter Symonds College.
