Aquitaine House is a thoughtful regeneration and redevelopment in the heart of Winchester’s city centre. 17 new homes have been created from former offices in St Clements Street, just round the corner from the Great Hall, Crown Court buildings and Upper High Street, where a fabulous array of coffee shops and restaurants await discovery and from where it is just a few minutes’ walk to the mainline train station, delivering commuters into Waterloo in less than an hour in peak times.

The building is celebrating a new façade and a total rearrangement internally to provide one and two bedroom apartments. Charters Estate Agents sold all the apartments following a launch event held at the nearby Hotel du Vin, with several investors snapping up the centrally located apartments to add to their portfolios.

The apartments are now coming to the rental market for the first time and are smartly presented with lovely new kitchens and bathrooms. Three homes have already been allocated to tenants with several more now available.

One bedroom apartments start from a monthly rent of £900 with two bedroom versions rising to £1,400.

Enquiries for these city homes should be directed to Charters in Jewry Street on 01962 830880…

The wonderful character and spacious layout of Dauntsey Cottage create a superb homely environment; somewhere to come back to eagerly after a busy day or brisk winter’s walk.

The farmhouse style kitchen is particularly appealing with plenty of cream painted units, an Aga keeping things warm, a central island and ample space for informal dining. Internal bi-folding doors open from here into a superb oak framed garden room, with underfloor heating, which was added a few years ago to create an open plan family space.

Oak flooring in the entrance hall, study and formal dining room sets the scene and the dining room has an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove to make things cosy for suppers in the winter, or lazy Sunday lunches.

The drawing room is a large space with a library or music room at one end and there are French doors to the garden from both the reception rooms.

On the practical side of things there is an excellent laundry room with direct access to the garden and a cloakroom.

Upstairs the accent is on the master suite which comprises a large bedroom, deep fitted storage cupboards and luxurious bathroom with a central bath and separate shower. Three further good size bedrooms share the family bathroom.

The gardens surround the cottage and stretch to almost half an acre from mature hedging at the front to a well enclosed rear garden, simply laid out for ease of maintenance and with spring bulbs, shrubs and trees. A large flagstone terrace on the sunny side is perfect for outside dining in the summer.

A superb range of outbuildings complete the picture with a double bay open garage and large store room; a games room which is also ideal as a gym, and a fully insulated summer house currently used as an office with power and light laid on in addition to telephone and broadband booster.

The private setting is a bonus and there is plenty of parking with a large driveway.

Dauntsey Cottage is situated along a rural lane near the village of Weyhill, about four miles from Andover and there are good local amenities.

Offers are invited around £795,000. Contact Evans & Partridge in Stockbridge on 01264 810702 for more information. …

Number 13 Tanfield Park enjoys a fabulous location within a short walk of Wickham Square and also backs onto Wickham Park Golf Course. The location, combined with the popular features of being a detached property with a spacious interior together with a south facing garden could prove to be irresistible to purchasers. However, the property does need updating so would only suit a family looking to put in some work but they could end up with a lovely home that could be adapted and kitted out to suit their individual lifestyle.

Although already fairly spacious the house would also lend itself to an extension but currently includes a central entrance hall with a door to the large ‘L’ shaped living room with woodblock flooring where there are defined dining and relaxing areas. The kitchen sits at the front of the house and there is also a separate family room with glazed doors to the garden, and a ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs are five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The three largest bedrooms lie at the rear of the house and have superb views over the golf course and countryside beyond.

Parking is provided at the front of the house on the driveway which leads to the garage and the good size garden at the rear is fenced to both sides, with a beech hedge separating this area from the golf course.

Wickham is a historic village at the southern end of the Meon Valley and offers all local amenities. The larger centre of Fareham is close by with easy access to the M27 motorway network.

Offered for sale with no forward chain with a price guide of £455,000, further details of this detached house are available from Byrne Runciman by telephoning 01329 834579.…
