Elegant period townhouse in the heart of Winchester.
Description
Nestled on the prestigious Kingsgate Road, this elegant Georgian townhouse offers a rare opportunity to reside in one of Winchester’s most desirable locations. With over 3,400 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged across three floors, the property combines timeless architectural charm with modern updates, creating a home of exceptional character and comfort.
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for the property’s grandeur. To the front, a formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, while the adjoining reception room enjoys garden views through French doors and features a handsome fireplace as its focal point. A versatile snug offers a cosy retreat, and the recently refurbished kitchen is a bright and airy space, complete with shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops, and skylights that flood the room with natural light. From here, there is direct access to the courtyard garden, perfect for alfresco dining.
The first floor hosts three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own character, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. Ascending to the second floor, the principal bedroom suite commands attention with its impressive proportions and serene outlook over Kingsgate Road. Two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom complete the accommodation, offering flexibility for family living or guest arrangements.
Throughout the property, period features abound, including sash windows, high ceilings, and original fireplaces, all contributing to its sense of heritage and elegance. The layout provides ample scope for creating home offices or additional leisure spaces, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
