St. Thomas Street, Winchester, SO23

The Property:
Dating back to the 17th century, this pretty grade II listed cottage has deceptive accommodation over three floors. A tablet within the brickwork of the front elevation dates this fascinating property to 1695, but the medieval oak framework to the interior suggests an earlier date. The house is within a group of four cottages, all painted in the same manner, under a clay tiled roof. There are impressive city views towards the Winchester College chapel and St Catherine's Hill. The ground floor has a spacious entrance hall, sitting room and a kitchen/dining room with rooflights and French doors that open into the garden and create excellent natural light. You will also find a WC and utility room on this floor. The first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst the second floor has a large double bedroom with study or dressing area to the rear enjoying wonderful views of the Chapel and St. Catherines Hill beyond. There is plenty of character throughout the property including panelled latch doors, exposed ceiling timbers and some exposed floorboards. Externally there is a low maintenance garden which is part walled, largely paved and with a summer house. Owners can apply for resident's on street permit parking.

The Location:
St. Thomas Street is among one of the most desirable positions within Winchester 'Old City' and forms one of a network of streets that wrap around the Cathedral. Just to the south of the High Street and located within the heart of the City Centre, yet providing excellent access to The Water Meadows and the pleasant walks they afford through the ancient part of the city, the college and the Cathedral. The City Centre and its amenities offer first class shopping, a varied range of restaurants, cinema, theatre, and sports centre. Communications are excellent, with the mainline railway station running a service to London Waterloo (approximately 60 minutes) and the M3, A34, A303 and M27 all easily accessible. Schools in Winchester are first class, with a wide variety of state and private schools in the area including Pilgrims & Winchester College a short walk away, Twyford School, Peter Symonds VI Form College and St. Swithun's School about two miles away.
