2 bedroom penthouse for sale

An exquisite City apartment with 2809 sq. ft. of accommodation and an outstanding roof terrace providing a stunning panoramic view.

Description

This exceptional city centre apartment has spectacular panoramic views across the city and over the South Downs National Park from the vast roof terrace. This first floor apartment underwent a superb refurbishment in 2016, retaining the original features and architectural integrity of what was the former Bank of Winchester. The conversion of this Grade II listed building, Century House, has created a stunning and superbly versatile accommodation of around 2809 sq. ft.

Upon entering the apartment, there is an immediate and gratifying feeling of space granted by the impressive height of the ceilings. This is especially noted from within the original bank's boardroom, whereby a magnificent ceiling lantern and dramatically tall sash windows allow it to bebathed with an abundance of natural light. The property has fine architectural
detail which is then sympathetically complemented by the introduction of a wealth of luxurious fittings throughout. The arrangement of the accommodation is of a practical
nature, with excellent storage and an overall versatile configuration.

Accessed from a secure video entry to the side of Century
House, the apartment is accessed from a flight of stairs which is then shared with the other single property within the building. From the apartment’s entrance hall, there are two double bedrooms, each with an en suite and a further internal media room with access to a guest bathroom. A lower staircase, original to the property, provides an ‘out of sight’ area currently used for gym/exercise equipment. The main reception space is located to the rear and incorporates a spacious open-plan living area comprising a fully fitted kitchen, a dining area and separate seating area. There is an adjoining utility with access to an outside area (ideal for a bistro table and chairs), with access via wrought iron staircase to the roof terrace.

Location

Located at the heart of the city centre along Jewry Street, providing an enviable proximity to a wealth of amenities, revered eateries and cultural delights. The perfect situation to enjoy the ancient capital at its best.
