Open Day on Saturday

The expectation of a rush of interested purchasers has resulted in the planning of an open day for people to view this striking city centre property which is ripe for improvement.

Saturday 7 January has been set as the date for the open day of this Grade II listed double fronted house in Eastgate Street, just a stone’s throw from the landmark King Alfred statue and walking distance from the wide ranging amenities within Winchester’s city centre with the train station at the top of the city less than a mile away.

Arranged over four floors, the property offers huge scope for a buyer to stamp their own mark on the property to create an impressive city centre home.

On the ground floor and encompassing the two floor to ceiling curved bay windows gracing the front of the property, are the kitchen breakfast room and the double length reception room. The former has white units with a built in cooker and hob whilst the double reception room provides both sitting and dining areas separated by a large archway, both with fireplaces.

A large inner hall leads to the rear lean to conservatory, and the courtyard garden beyond, with a door opening to a staircase down to a large basement with excellent scope for additional living space.

Arranged over the first floor are three generous bedrooms all of which feature decorative fireplaces and there is also a bathroom on this level.

A 25’ attic bedroom on the top floor has a feature porthole window with superb city views.

A small front garden is set behind wrought iron railings and at the rear is an attractive courtyard garden which leads to a garage with a studio/store, with access from the rear service road.

Hamptons advises a guide price of £675,000 and appointments to view on the open day may be made by calling the Winchester office on 01962 842030.
