2 bedroom penthouse for sale

A stunning split level, two bedroom apartment with a west facing balcony and one of the finest views of Winchester Cathedral. Offered with no onward chain.

Description

Boldly positioned amongst some of Winchester's iconic period architecture is this unique, modern collection of six apartments. Entering from Southgate Street there is a communal area containing post boxes, a generous and secure bike store and access to the communal terrace and garden that look towards Winchester Cathedral.

On the forth floor, The Penthouse occupies the best and most private position and upon entering immediately welcomes you with natural light and space. A particular highlight is the open plan kitchen/family room with sliding glass doors to the west facing balcony, an ideal setting for ‘sundowners'. There is a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and remote controlled blinds to shade the sun in summer months.

On a separate and split lower level to the living accommodation is the primary bedroom with en suite shower room, that enjoys one of the finest views of Winchester Cathedral available in the city. There is a further double bedroom that could equally be an office or guest bedroom depending on ones own requirements. There is plenty of built in storage available, with an intricate attention to detail in the presentation and finish of the apartment.

Location

Southgate Street is situated in the highly desirable area of St Cross, a conservation area immediately south of the city centre. The pedestrianised High Street contains a wide variety of local businesses, independent shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants. There are a number of other cultural, historical and leisure facilities such as the Theatre Royal, Everyman Cinema, the Great Hall and world renowned Cathedral.

The mainline railway station is easily accessible (0.5 miles) as are excellent local schools such as St Bede's (0.6 miles) and Westgate (0.9 miles). St Cross has its appeal to suit professionals, first time buyers, and commuters alike, affording a wonderful environment and a thriving community. Not only is St Cross ideally located for the city, it also allows attractive walks through historic cathedral streets and out to local water meadows, St Catherine's Hill and onto the Itchen Navigation south of the city. Winchester is very well connected via road and rail with London Waterloo being around 58 minutes from the city's railway station. The M3 allows easy access to London and the south coast connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport which serves a growing number of destinations worldwide.
