This pretty brick and flint cottage is situated right in the heart of Winchester’s historic streets, close to the Cathedral and the host of quirky pubs, restaurants and individual boutiques as well as high street brands. With lovely period features, this home has sash windows fronting onto Canon Street and a highly desirable south facing courtyard garden at the rear. Although there is no parking available in the street, residents may apply for permits in the adjacent roads.

The front door opens into an entrance vestibule from where stairs rise to the first floor. Oak flooring graces the well planned reception room where the sitting area stretches from the sash window at the front through to French doors to the garden and there is a good size dining recess with a door linking to the fitted kitchen. The sitting room is made cosy by way of a gas fired stove set in a fireplace recess and the kitchen has a range of cream units with integrated appliances with a pleasant outlook and direct access to the courtyard.

Two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room are arranged over the first floor with the staircase continuing up to the third bedroom in the attic space.

The courtyard is a lovely, protected space to enjoy whenever the sun shines and with traditional style paving and a raised planter could not be easier to maintain. There is also a brick built storage shed.

This is a perfect city home for young professionals and downsizers alike; in fact anyone who relishes the idea of having city amenities, together with riverside walks, on the doorstep, within an environment full of character and a fascinating history.
