SELLER INSIGHT

I lived here while I was studying at Winchester University. It was perfect - I could be in class in 3 minutes! It’s very quiet here and the neighbours are friendly, so I found it easy to focus on homework, and it was a relaxing place to be when I needed down-time.

The apartment is well laid out; the bedroom is a great size and I loved having the en-suite – friends used the hallway w.c. so the bathroom was just for me, it felt quite private. Having the garden was great, in the summer I’d have the patio doors open all day and just wander in and out. It’s a private garden and isn’t really overlooked.

There are convenience stores in the university and hospital about 3 minutes away. The main shops and restaurants are a 10 minute walk, really easy for a night out, or you can get any kind of food delivered to the door. I had a car but hardly used it, you can walk to everything from here, including the train station.

Now I’ve finished university I’m travelling quite a bit so it doesn’t make sense to keep the apartment. It’s a great place to live though, if you’re considering it, you should definitely buy it!
