An instantly welcoming and very charming Victorian house with character abounding! Presented in a delightful country cottage style, this three-bedroom mid-terrace home near the city centre offers two reception rooms, kitchen with adjoining boot room/storage room, and a gloriously planted garden.
Situated on a no-through road, 6 St. John's Road is a wonderful example of period character blending with modern surroundings. Upon entry through the front door there is a hallway leading to all accommodation. There is a living room to the front that enjoys abundant afternoon and evening sun.
The lovely open fire with rustic mantle and brick surround serves as an attractive centrepiece.
The second reception room is a dining room/drawing room and has a welcoming cottage feel. The vendor has wingback chairs facing the woodburner, very much giving the room the feel of a cosy nook in a traditional country inn. Stairs rise to the first floor, with vertical oak beams alongside. The contemporary kitchen continues the cosy feel, with a Rangemaster and ample storage. A skylight lets light in, as do the windows to the side into the storage/boot room. The bathroom is beyond the kitchen and adjacent to an airing cupboard.
Upstairs, there is a large double bedroom to the front of the house, and a double bedroom to the rear which currently serves as a study. A door opens to stairs that lead up to the large loft bedroom. The vendor has recently replaced the windows with new double-aspect Velux windows.
Outside, through the storage/boot room, the garden is a highlight. Separated into three distinct sections, the first is a paved patio with log store and ample space for dining and BBQ.
The main part of the garden was designed by a renowned local garden designer. It is planted in a woodland edge style, with an array of rare and mature perennials, shrubs, and small trees. It is an all-season garden, with some of the best shows in Winter and Spring, as well as twenty-two different roses. Through a gate further down the winding path is an area that the vendor currently keeps chickens.
Saint John's Road is a quiet cul-de-sac within easy reach of Winchester city centre and the mainline railway station, and just a short journey gives access to the M3, M27, A34 and Southampton Airport Parkway. There is a short river walk to the main high street and the property is within close proximity to the water meadows and St Giles Hill. Local schools, including The Westgate School, are within easy reach. The city is full of history and has a fine array of boutiques, independent shops, restaurants, contemporary bars as well as a cinema and a theatre.
