The dilemma facing many prospective tenants is whether to sample city life or head out to the countryside.

 

But how about if you could live in a property that feels and looks like a country cottage but is virtually within the shadow of Winchester Cathedral and an easy walk from the city centre and its bustling day and night life?

 

Colebrook Cottage, in Colebrook Street (£2,150 per month EPC Band E), has brick and render facades with an appealing curved eyebrow window in the roof. It’s set back behind a low brick wall and bushes, with an unmade lane running alongside. Inside are two separate reception rooms, the sitting room at the rear featuring a large bay overlooking the garden, a kitchen with integrated appliances and a separate boot / utility room. The first floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom with both bath and shower, and a separate cloakroom with a further bedroom or home office on the second floor. The house also has a garden and parking for two cars.

 

Nearby in The Cathedral Close is a well-proportioned townhouse (£2,500 EPC listed building exempt) that offers drawing and dining rooms, a kitchen, study, utility room, two double bedrooms and two cloakrooms. Outside there are enclosed gardens to the rear and reserved parking.

 

Coming soon are a two bedroom period town house overlooking the Cathedral and a large three bedroom family house of 3382 sq ft in a private yet central location. Contact Zaza Oswald, partner in charge of residential lettings, for more details.

 

If the pull of rural life is too great to resist, then a spacious and well-presented family home in Ampfield (£2,750 EPC tbc) with separate one bedroom annexe and set in lovely gardens is also a great location for the schools in Winchester, Romsey, and Southampton. Its accommodation includes three reception rooms, a large hallway, eat-in kitchen, cloakroom, and utility room. There are five double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and separate cloakroom while the annexe offers a kitchen / sitting room, bedroom, and bathroom so is perfect for a relative or au-pair. There are large rear gardens with additional garden and parking to the front.
