Description
St. Mary's House is a superb, detached family home, offering extensive accommodation over three floors. Situated in an elevated position with exquisite views over Oram's Arbour and the historic City of Winchester, the plot is generous and exceptionally wide for the city.
Approached through a welcoming reception hall, the property has a good-sized drawing room and dining room. Sliding doors lead out to a garden room and views over the west-facing terrace and lawns. A separate breakfast room opens to the kitchen, and a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is extremely generous with an adjoining shower room, and a door leading out to a balcony which can accommodate a table and chairs. Bedroom two has a wide balcony with equally fabulous views over the trees and rolling parkland of Oram's Arbour. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and a family shower.
The top floor extension was built in 2006, adding two bedrooms and a bathroom with tiled floors and underfloor heating. The dormer windows make the most of the height and light up here. The top floor is built partially into the eaves and provides a significant amount of storage space.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, off-street parking is available for three cars with additional on-street permit parking available. The front gardens are laid to lawn with pretty borders and a wall along the Clifton Road boundary, providing wonderful views over The Arbour and towards the city. The rear gardens are west-facing with a lovely lawned area, mature trees and shrubs.
The property enjoys a particularly wide plot for a city setting and provides significant scope for improvement and the possibility of potentially extending the existing house to the rear.
This is the first time that St. Mary's House has been on the market for over 40 years.
Location
Clifton Road is regarded as one of Winchester's prime residential locations, an elevated position with views across the park at Oram's Arbour and the city itself. The position is particularly convenient, with the railway station (0.25 miles) and city centre (0.25 miles) nearby, yet quiet with the peaceful park providing an idyllic atmosphere. The Cathedral Close and Winchester College are within a short distance (0.3 miles) as are the water meadows at St. Cross. The property is situated ideally for the pedestrian precinct in the High Street with access to a wealth of shopping, dining and recreational facilities including the Theatre Royal and local cinema.
