The property is approached via a portico leading to the front door. A stunning reception hall gives access to a fine staircase and the principal reception rooms.

There are six bedrooms on the first floor, some of them with stunning views over St Catherine's Hill.
A spiral staircase leads from the landing to the attic rooms, again with splendid views to the east and south. These rooms could be used for further bedrooms, offices, or hobby rooms.
Right behind the house is a charming terrace with swimming pool and pool house with built in pool and barbecue, changing facilities and a large room above.
Bindon Cottage, formerly the lodge for Bindon House, is a charming Grade II-listed, brick and flint detached two-bedroom cottage.
Steven Moore, of agents Savills Winchester, described the home as one of Winchester's finest.
He said: "Bindon House is a notable property within the ever-desirable area of St Cross, south of Winchester’s historic city centre. The handsome Grade II-listed family home is set on one of the larger plots for its location, extending to 0.72 acres, with a swimming pool, pool house and a detached cottage.”
Close to the iconic Hospital of St Cross, the property is close to excellent schools and captivating walks through the water meadows.
