Property Information | Elm Road, Winchester, SO22 (Ref 3707)
Spacious semi detached townhouse (1788sq.ft) with driveway parking within a delightful tree lined street moments from the station.
The Property:
Set back from Elm Road behind a block paved driveway this attractive late Victorian house provides versatile space over four floors. The current owner has been in residence for some years and the property would now benefit from an element of upgrading and modernisation. Steps rise to the entrance hall with a sitting room to the front aspect with a bay window and traditional fireplace and a double bedroom ensuite, which has been used as a study. The lower ground floor has a dining room, again with a front aspect bay window, whilst the rear of the house has been extended to create a kitchen/breakfast room with a roof lantern and French doors into the rear garden which provides excellent natural light. The first floor has two bedrooms the larger having two windows to the front aspect overlooking Elm Road, the smaller with fitted cupboards and a separate bathroom. The second floor has two further bedrooms. Externally the house has side access to the rear garden, which is enclosed by close board fencing with a patio directly behind the house which graduates onto a lawn with a path to one side and a shrub border. To the rear of the garden there is decking with a planted trellis and behind that, a useful garden shed.
The Location:
Situated within historic Winchester, Elm Road is a delightful tree lined road that has been regarded a top location within Winchester for some time due to the proximity of the railway station and all the amenities of the city centre and offers sustainable lifestyle opportunities with many of the City's amenities within a short walk. The long flat garden offers a safe place for children to play and if more space to let off energy is needed the Arbour is only a little further than a 'stone's throw' away. There are lovely walks along the River Itchen, through the Water Meadows and up St. Catherine's Hill. The mainline rail station is under a five minutes' walk, with journey times to London Waterloo in under an hour and direct trains to Southampton and its international airport, Basingstoke and beyond. Around the corner, local shops can be found on Stockbridge Road, and the local surgery is just off St. Paul's Hill, with further facilities at Stoney Lane where there is a Waitrose store as well as smaller retailers and Friarsgate Doctors Surgery. There are also excellent links by road, whilst Southampton International Airport, the South Coast for sailing and the New Forest for walking and riding are all within an easy drive. Fulflood is within the catchment area of Western Church of England Primary School and The Westgate 'through' School, rated 'good' and 'outstanding' by Ofsted. Peter Symonds Sixth Form College is also situated close by.
