Homes that make an impression can be enjoyed without a massive commitment to purchase.

 

And it’s also true that they don’t always come with a hefty rent bill, either, as Zaza Oswald at Carter Jonas will happily demonstrate. Whether you want a country pile or a city townhouse she has something to fit a variety of bills, so to speak.

 

In the heart of Winchester, overlooking the Outer Cathedral Close, is a terraced house (£1,250 per month EPC Band E) that has accommodation set over three floors comprising a sitting room, kitchen with cooker and space for appliances and a table, w.c., master and second bedrooms, bathroom and a storage room / occasional bedroom. Outside are communal front gardens and a yard to the rear.

 

Another city centre property is an end terrace townhouse (£2,700 EPC D) with spectacular Cathedral views. Above the highly-prized double garage are a kitchen / dining room with an AGA, a study, elegant drawing room, three double bedrooms, and three bathrooms, with access via a lift and internal stairs.

 

Taking a leap into the countryside, an updated family house (£1,795 EPC E) in a large garden at Ovingdon Down between Winchester and Alresford offers three bedrooms, three receptions (one could become a fourth bedroom) and two bathrooms as well as extensive views.

 

Commuters who love fresh air will love the leap of faith to Palestine, just two minutes from the major rural commuting station at Grateley (Waterloo around one hour). Here there’s a beautifully presented five bedroom house (£2,750 EPC E) with five reception rooms and three bathrooms. Above the double garage is a family room and the house is set in large gardens where children can safely let off steam. The area has many excellent schooling choices.

 

At Axford, a small community close to Dummer and Basingstoke, The Pippins (£3,750, EPC C) is a luxurious five bedroom home (two en-suite) that has been extended and refurbished in recent years. Its layout is perfect for those who love to entertain with bi-fold doors in the sitting and drawing rooms opening virtually the whole reception space into the rear garden.
