An exceptional townhouse located off Oram's Arbour park, providing spacious accommodation, off road parking and convenient access to the city's amenities.
Description
The town house created from the St Paul's hospital building forms a part of the 1998 development by Gleeson Homes, with a variety of desirable city townhouses. The former brick built building, to the now current townhouses, dates back to the 1800s. The property benefits from the character and charm of high ceilings and sash windows which creates a wonderfully light and airy environment. The current owners have presented the interior and the rear garden courtyard to an exquisite standard. Through a programme of significant and yet sympathetic modernisation, the property now offers exceptional accommodation ideally suited to the demands of modern living.
The property is arranged across three floors, and from a welcoming entrance hall, the ground floor has a good sized study/snug which is fitted with access to a deep storage cupboard, a cloakroom and a superb kitchen/dining room that has been refitted with a wide range of units along with integrated appliances. Within the kitchen, there is a large
utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The garden is accessible from the kitchen via a set of French doors. The living space continues on the first floor. A light and spacious landing leads on one side to a delightful double-aspect sitting room featuring a Juliet balcony
overlooking the rear garden. To the other side is a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an adjacent modern bathroom.
On the second floor is the principal bedroom which has fully fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom. Bedroom three is also on this floor. It is currently used as a study and is
fitted with removable Neville Johnson furniture. The large loft
space is fully boarded and fire proofed.
OUTSIDE
The beautifully presented rear garden terrace has the advantage of being south west facing. It incorporates low maintenance decking and sandstone patio, softened with carefully designed planting, ideally suited to outdoor entertaining. A central water feature and patio lighting enhances a tranquil environment and a powered garden shed offers valuable storage. There is a convenient rear gated pedestrian access leading through to Oram's Arbour. Key to living within the city and often a rarity, this property has the advantage of an allocated private parking space with the addition of visitors' parking.
Location
For the residents of Alison Way, there is the distinct advantage of its situation. Set within landscaped, well-maintained community gardens, it has the lovely, open green space of Oram's Arbour around the corner and both the city centre and main line station are only minutes away. Alison Way also has the convenience of a GP and pharmacy located within 20m.
The fast train link to London Waterloo (approximately one hour) makes the property ideal for commuters. Winchester offers an extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities, and there are many attractive walks through the historic parts of the city around the cathedral, Winchester College and along the water meadows towards the Hospital of St Cross. The M3 towards Southampton and London is located within 3 miles of the property, connecting to the A34 and A303.
