Property Information | St. James Villas, Winchester, SO23

Elegant Grade II Listed Regency style villa in a delightful location within a short walk of the city centre with scope to improve.

The Property:
The property is a Grade II listed Regency style villa, built mid-19th century which forms part of an attractive street scene of a series of stuccoed, colour washed properties with inset sash and casement windows under slate roofs. A traditional panelled door opens into the welcoming entrance hall which has a turning staircase to the first floor. A dual aspect drawing room sits to one side and a dining room the other. This has a glazed display cabinet, lower-level cupboards and a wooden floor. The kitchen breakfast room is fitted with a range of cream fronted base and eye level units with a large window providing excellent natural light, a door provides access into the garage. The first floor has a dual aspect principal bedroom with a fitted shower room. There are two further double bedrooms with fitted storage and served by a 'jack and jill' bathroom. A door from the cloakroom has stairs that lead to the cellar which is useful storage space with limited head height. The house is 'back to back' with the adjoining property, therefore the garden sits to the front of the house and is part enclosed by a privet hedge, other shrubs and beds with a path to the front door and driveway in front of the garage.

The Location:
The house lies in the heart of the city between St. James Lane and Compton Road on the western side of the northern end of the St. Cross Road. The house is therefore within walking distance of the High Street, a varied range of restaurants, the theatre and cinema. There are wonderful walks around the Cathedral, the College, and the Water Meadows along the banks of the river Itchen. There is a shortcut to the station via Peninsula Barracks. It provides a fast commuter service to London Waterloo (circa one hour).

Directions:
From the centre of Winchester proceed in a Southerly direction along Southgate Street, which becomes St. Cross Road. Turn right after the pedestrian crossing into St. James Lane and proceed for a short distance. St. James Villas are found at the second turning on the left-hand side. The property will be found on the left-hand side identified by our 'For Sale' board.
