Staple Gardens, Winchester, SO23

The Property:
Set moments from the city centre yet away from any main roads, Staple Chambers offers all the convenience of city living as well as peace and quiet. The block has been very well designed and, most importantly, well maintained. There is a beautiful entrance hall with access to stairs and lift to all floors. Number 6 is set on the second floor. A generous hallway gives the feeling of space and leads through to the rest of the accommodation. To the right is the open plan kitchen and sitting room; large floor to ceiling windows offer plenty of natural light. The kitchen is simple and modern and offers a good amount of storage and counter space with fitted appliances. The bedroom is a bright double and benefits from fitted storage. A generous bathroom sits to the front of the property. Externally is one allocated space in a car port and the apartment also benefits from a secure storage unit which is perfect for suitcases, bikes or anything else one would rather not keep in the apartment itself. The flat is modern and simple, ideal for first time buyers, investors or those looking for a city centre 'bolthole'.

The Location:
Staple Chambers is at the heart of the city's amenities and is a short walk to green spaces at Oram's Arbour, the Recreation Ground, Winnall Moors Nature Reserve and the banks of the River Itchen. The mainline railway station with frequent trains to London, Basingstoke, Southampton and beyond is less than a five-minute walk away. Winchester offers extensive shopping, first class state and private schools, a wide range of churches and a rich cultural life.
