Central Winchester continues to have a high demand

This spacious townhouse in St Michael’s Gardens is a perfect example of what happens when a nicely presented home comes to the market. Especially when it is within walking distance of all the attractions Winchester has to offer.

Purdie & Swan were delighted to find a tenant within a short space of time and still have several people registered with them looking for properties in good city centre locations.

Winchester draws a wide range of tenants from professionals working locally and needing access to the station to young families wanting to put down roots in the community to take advantage of the excellent schools.

This family townhouse has wonderful views over the city and was upgraded a few years ago. The house is full of light, being graced with large windows and the layout is excellent with well proportioned rooms over three floors, a low maintenance enclosed garden and two private parking spaces, quite rare in a city location.

Katherine at Purdie & Swan says that this type of property always has a high demand and this one was let within two weeks of marketing: “As a result of securing new tenants for this lovely home in St Michael’s Gardens, we have further applicants looking for something similar in central Winchester.

“We would be very happy to hear from anyone who has a property becoming available in the next couple of months.”

Please call Katherine on 01962 717711 or 07834 587876 for a free rental valuation.

Wonderful natural setting

Wonderful natural setting

Selborne is an attractive village in eastern Hampshire where the beautiful countryside is famous for its association with the eighteenth century naturalist Gilbert White. In his book The Natural History of Selborne, he meticulously recorded his observations on the plants, birds and animals in this lovely part of Hampshire.

This is the setting for this charming detached cottage which is available on the rental market, and, dating from the 1600s, Gilbert White would have been familiar with the property. Pleasance Cottage has a traditional country kitchen which is triple aspect and with a stable type door to the front. A large range oven sets the scene and from this room stone steps lead up to the dining room. Across the other side of the entrance hall is a spacious sitting room with oak floorboards, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove.

There is also a utility room and bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms with oak floors and delightful views of the very pretty cottage style garden. Off road parking is provided.

Available part furnished, Hamptons in Winchester will be happy to arrange a viewing of this period home in its natural setting. A monthly rent of £1,295 is asked. Contact the office on 01962 853046

Mallards is a fascinating highly individual property in a stunning waterside location.

A centrally positioned staircase rises through the house to the first floor landing which branches off to five bedrooms including the master suite with dressing room and large bathroom. There are also three separate roof terraces from which to take in the lovely surroundings.

The clue’s in the name

March 17, 2016 Property News 0

At Meadow View, on the edge of Winchester, this lovely detached modern house overlooks beautiful open countryside.

With an address like that it would be difficult to imagine a different location. However this house is far from remote here at Abbotts Barton and the mainline station is within walking distance. Particularly appealing to families is the proximity of St Bede primary school and Westgate for the older ones, with the city centre also within easy reach.

The handsome house has been well designed with some lovely features and also now has hand crafted window shutters to ground floor rooms. The central front door opens into an entrance hall which has doors to all rooms including two excellent reception rooms, the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and guest cloakroom.

The sitting room and the kitchen both have French doors opening to a sunny paved terrace which is delightful through the warmer months and adds to the living space on fine days. The kitchen is a superb open plan space with built-in appliances under the granite work surfaces and ample storage space

The good size master suite on the first floor has fitted wardrobes and its own shower room with a double shower. Three further good size bedrooms and a smaller fifth room share the luxurious family bathroom which has a bath and separate double shower. Of course, one of these bedrooms might easily be used as a study for those who are able to work from home.

Completing the credentials of this lovely home are a double garage with twin doors, additional parking and a charming walled garden with newly stocked flower and shrub borders already responding to the lengthening days and warmer temperatures.

With a price guide of £850,000, Belgarum welcomes enquiries to the Winchester office on 01962 844460.
