It is not often we see a home with so much character remaining and having been in the same ownership for over a hundred years. built by the current owners great-grandfather in the 1880's. The same tenant has been in situ since 1946 and limited modernisation has been carried out in this time, giving the new owner a blank canvas to create a truly special home.

Other houses within the terrace have created basement conversions as well as loft conversions subject to the necessary planning conditions. There is excellent opportunity to create a lovely home with just limited modernisation whether this be to reside in or as a buy to let investment.

The home is accessed through an unassuming archway on Chesil Street, by a pathway that leads to the five properties. There is a 'front garden' with ample space for planting as you wish.

The entrance hall leads onto a good size kitchen with pine panelled walls, this leads onto the dining room which has a feature fireplace as well as a useful understair cupboard. The sitting room looks over the rear towards the river.

Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms and a bathroom leading on from the principle bedroom. Some reconfiguration is required but there is ample opportunity to do so.

The home also benefits from a roomy cellar which is standing height, other properties have reconfigured this space to make a further reception room, there are many possibilities depending on your needs.

To the rear of the property is a useful outside loo which could be re-purposed to make an outside store, there is some private garden space to plant and add to, to create a lovely little haven. The main part of the garden streches along the side of the house and offers a stunning view of the river. Needing some maintenance however there is huge potential to create a realy city sanctuary.

Chesil Terrace is a prime location for all the amenities of the city including a theatre, cinema, tennis and squash club, a number of restaurants and bars together with a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo in about 1 hour.

Road communications are excellent, the M3 can be joined on the south side of Winchester (Junction 11). To the south, the M3 links with the M27 coastal motorway and Southampton Airport and to the north the A303 and A34 providing access to the West Country and Midlands respectively.

There are a good selection of state and private schools in the area including St Bede CofE Primary School (rated outstanding), The Westgate as well as Twyford Preparatory, Pilgrims, Prince’s Mead, Winchester College, St Swithun’s and Peter Symonds 6th Form College.
