A fine Georgian town house in a highly sought after city location with off road parking and a delightful West facing rear garden

Description

15 St James Villas is a superbly presented Georgian, Grade II listed, semi-detached town house situated in arguably one of Winchester's most sought after residential locations on the favoured western side of the road. Being at the very northern end of St Cross means the property is beautifully located for the city centre yet benefits from a low traffic environment convenient for the best of the city's amenities.

The property is approached over its own block set driveway
providing parking for two vehicles with the attractive front garden running alongside. The accommodation is approached through a large and welcoming reception hall with a staircase leading to the first floor. There are three principal reception rooms: a drawing room, sitting room and dining/garden room. The drawing room lies at the front of the house overlooking the garden. This attractive and calming room is bright with a double aspect and features a superb gas fireplace with marble surround and built-in cabinetry on either side. The sitting room is equally attractive with a cosy feel and a door to the rear garden. There's a fireplace with fitted wood burner and the floors have exposed floorboards. An archway from the sitting room opens up into the kitchen which is fitted with a superb range of kitchen cabinets with a central island and granite work surfaces. The kitchen is complemented with high quality appliances. The dining/garden room is beyond the kitchen with a tiled floor, doors to the garden and lantern ceiling. It provides a light and attractive space with large built in storage cupboards. A door leads through to a utility lobby and on to the ground floor cloakroom.

On the first floor is a principal bedroom with adjoining bathroom, two further double bedrooms and a shower room. A cellar completes the accommodation in the house.

OUTSIDE
The rear garden is particularly attractive with south and west aspects. It is particularly sunny, and private. The garden is largely terraced with established flower and shrub borders, walled with an attractive rose covered pergola to provide an wonderful al fresco dining area. There is also a small garden store.

Location

St James Villas is situated in the heart of St Cross, a conservation area immediated to the south of the centre of Winchester. The High Street is nearby with its access to a wealth of shops, restaurants and recreational facilities including the Theatre Royal and local cinema.

Winchester College and the water meadows of St Cross, which stretch along the banks of the River Itchen, are nearby and there are splendid walks through the historic cathedral streets and towards St Catherine's Hill.

Winchester is approximately 60 minutes by train from London
Waterloo and Winchester train station is about 0.6 miles from the house. The M3 motorway (junctions 9,10 and 11) is within easy reach making both London and Southampton readily accessible. The interconnection with the M27 makes Southampton International Airport easily commutable and also opens up the south-coast and New Forest.
