FOR SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION ON WEDNESDAY 14TH DECEMBER 2022 AT THE AGEAS BOWL, BOTLEY ROAD, WEST END, SOUTHAMPTON, SO30 3XH STARTING AT 11AM.

Set within the sought-after and historic area of Hyde near the heart of Winchester, this pretty brick and flint cottage is steeped in history and has the potential to be a lovely home. Offering two bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom, enclosed rear garden, and a wealth of characterful features.

Located just outside the old northern gate of Winchester and within close walking distance to the city centre, Hyde has a notable and fascinating history. The pretty area sits upon the ruins of Hyde Abbey which has strong links to King Alfred the Great and dates back to the early 900's and, today, the only building that remains is the impressive gate house on Hyde Gate. Many remnants of the abbey are scattered throughout Hyde, including elements of stone masonry woven into the fabric of these particular cottages in Hyde Church Path. The property is a very picturesque brick and flint cottage and dates back to the late 17th century. It is set back from the road in a tranquil position and is accessed by a path adjacent to St Bartholomew's Church.

Upon entry, the living room is a good size and benefits from a wood burner with exposed brick surround, and stairs rise to the first floor. Classical wooden beams feature in both the living room and the dining room, and the dining room further benefits from a built-in storage cupboard. The wall between the living room and the kitchen has been fitted with an internal window, which allows further natural light into the living room and adjoins the spaces nicely. The kitchen is bright and fitted with a range of eye and low-level units with wooden drawers and doors and there is further space for appliances. There is also a built-in storage cupboard, a large skylight, and a door that opens to the rear garden. Finishing off the ground floor is the bathroom which is fitted with double walk-in shower, vanity unit, toilet, and heated towel rail.

Stairs lead from the living room to the first floor and these feature beautiful exposed wood panelling. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, with bedroom one being especially generous in size. Bedroom one benefits from a dual aspect, and exposed wood panelling and a feature fireplace add to the classical features. Bedroom two is fitted with ample built-in storage and offers views of the rear garden.

Outside, the garden is a good size and is directly accessed from the kitchen. There is a generous patio seating area which is ideal for entertaining, and steps rise to the upper level which is laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubbery.
