The morning walk across the top of Oram’s Arbour to the train station, just a quarter of a mile away, will be highly appealing to regular commuters as well as this wonderful open space being a great amenity for other local residents. From its elevated position, this elegant and imposing Grade II listed house has far reaching views over Winchester’s city centre to the countryside on the hills on the other side, as well as being within a short walk of the huge range of shops, restaurants and leisure amenities, together with excellent schools for all ages.

With accommodation extending to more than 2,400 square feet, including a versatile bonus room in the loft, the house also boasts fabulous original features with ornate cornicing, lovely fireplaces and sash windows gracing several rooms and the four principal floors linked by a wonderfully elegant staircase with fine spindles and wooden handrail.

Two fine reception rooms with high ceilings are arranged off the reception hall at the entrance level with a very spacious dining room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room on the lower ground floor with an Aga and access to the east facing garden.

Four double bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room are arranged over the first and second floors, with the front facing rooms enjoying the best of the views.

A pathway leads through the attractively planted front garden with the majority of the garden lying to the rear. This spacious area widens behind neighbouring property allowing extensive planting of shrubs and trees around the lawns. Close to the rear door of the kitchen is a useful utility room/store. A long pathway dissects the garden and there is access at the far end into the double garage.

The city location, character features throughout spacious accommodation, large garden and garage all contribute to making this a highly appealing property.
