With surprisingly high ceilings, an open fireplace and access to the garden the room is a particular highlight and a wonderful space to relax or entertain.

At the end of the hallway there is a guest WC and a unique vaulted window providing natural light through original beams over the stairs that lead down to the kitchen and breakfast room. The open plan kitchen is perfectly in keeping with the property featuring shaker style cabinets, a built-in oven with a gas hob and a variety of floor and wall mounted storage units. The generous dining area has original beams on show and other period features making an ideal and insightful place to entertain.

There are two further bedrooms on the second floor that enjoys the best of the surrounding street scene, where there are also cathedral views and St Catherine's Hill in the distance.

<b>outside</b>
Approaching the property from St Johns Street there is an attractive wildflower garden adjacent to the steps leading to the front door. Accessed via the principal reception room there is a south facing terrace and gardens which offer an idyllic spot to relax and unwind or entertain in the summer months. As St Johns Street gently falls away to the high street, the elevation allows for a very attractive and private outdoor space. There are a variety of mature flowering shrubs, plants and well-stocked borders that contribute to a charming and very pretty garden, offering colour and interest as the seasons progress.

Location
St Johns Street is one of Winchester's most attractive and historic streets thought to follow an old Roman Road into the city. There are a variety of historic buildings including The Blue Boar Inn which dates to around 1340 and sits below St Johns Street and Joyces Gardens, a little known open green space that enjoys outstanding views over the city, to the cathedral and St Catherine's Hill. The pedestrianised high street in the city centre is just under one mile from the property where there are a wide selection of shops, independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, and recreational facilities such as the Theatre Royal, local cinema and the cathedral grounds. Winchester offers a fine balance of history, culture, leisure pursuits and a thriving social scene.

Winchester is also home to St Swithun's, Pilgrims, Winchester College, and Princes Mead, all of which are a particular draw to the city. There is also an excellent choice of state schools in Western/Westgate, Kings, and the highly regarded Peter Symonds sixth form college.

The city is very well connected via road and rail with London Waterloo accessible via a fast service in under 60 minutes from the city's railway station. The M3 allows easy access to London and the South coast connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport which serves a growing number of destinations worldwide. The A34 to the north provides access to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303 to the West Country.
