76, Eastgate Street, Winchester, SO23 8DZ

There are few addresses in Winchester that put you quite so close to the heart of the city, and even fewer that come with the luxury of private off-road parking.

Positioned directly opposite the King Alfred statue, at the foot of Winchester's historic High Street, this three-bedroom townhouse offers something rather special.

The ability to step outside your front door and find yourself immediately amongst the city's independent coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques and everyday conveniences, without ever needing to reach for the car keys.

Morning coffees become part of the routine, dinner reservations no longer involve organising taxis, and a spontaneous stroll through Abbey Gardens or along the River Itchen is quite literally on your doorstep.

It is city living in its truest sense, with the added convenience of having your own parking space waiting for you when you return.

Built in 2003, the house offers accommodation approaching 1,500 sq ft, thoughtfully arranged over several floors.

Unlike many homes in such a central position, there is a genuine feeling of space throughout, with generous ceiling heights, tall windows and beautifully presented interiors that have recently benefited from redecoration and upgraded carpets.

The kitchen and breakfast room provides a welcoming space to begin the day, whilst the separate living accommodation offers somewhere to retreat from the activity of the city outside.

A dedicated study is particularly useful for those working from home, providing the flexibility to close the door on the working day and be enjoying everything Winchester has to offer just moments later.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with both the principal and second bedrooms enjoying their own en-suite shower rooms, complemented by a separate family bathroom.

Underfloor heating to selected rooms and hive smart heating add another layer of everyday comfort. Perhaps one of the more unexpected pleasures of the house is its outlook.

To the front, the iconic King Alfred statue and the Broadway provide a constant reminder of just how special this address is.

To the rear, views stretch towards the City Mill, River Itchen and the greenery of St Giles Hill, becoming increasingly impressive as you move through the upper floors.

Outside, a private courtyard garden offers a manageable space to enjoy some fresh air without the demands of extensive garden maintenance.

From here, there is direct access to the private off-road parking area, a particularly valuable feature for a property in this part of Winchester.

For those commuting, Winchester's mainline railway station is within walking distance, with direct services to London Waterloo, whilst the nearby M3 and A34 provide convenient road connections.

Ultimately, this is a home that offers a different way of living.

The city is there whenever you want it, your car can stay parked, and everything from an early morning coffee to an evening out is only a short walk from your front door.

A proper city-centre home, without the usual compromises.
