canon street, winchester

Situated on one of the most prestigious roads in Winchester, this semi-detached house is a rare and wonderful opportunity. One of only two of its kind set back from the road, there is a driveway to the front offering parking for two cars - a benefit that is particularly rare in the 'college streets'.

The house is late Victorian and has excellent large windows which let a lot of light to each room. A program of refurbishment is required throughout to modernise the property to current standards.

The kitchen is at the front of the house, and a great size, with ample units and fireplace. There is room to dine in here also. The living room is the full width of the house, with ample storage for books, a fireplace and a door to the garden. A WC completes the ground floor. The first floor offers two large bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor has a dormer window with excellent views over the rooftops to St. Catherine's Hill. There is also a WC. Outside, the enclosed garden is mainly paved in an assorted style, with mature beds surrounding and a brick-built shed for storage.

Canon Street itself is ideally situated in the city. At the east end is the ever popular 'Kingsgate Village', comprising of the award-winning Wykeham Arms pub and restaurant, Kingsgate Wine & Provisions, Cornflowers Gift Shop and P&G Wells - one of the oldest bookshops in England. Also nearby is Winchester College, Wolvesey Castle and, of course, Winchester Cathedral. The railway station is in walking distance, as is the city centre.
