Elegant Grade II Listed Regency style villa in one of the city’s most sought after positions, now requiring complete renovation.
The Property:
The property is a Grade II listed Regency style villa, built mid-19th century, forming part of an attractive street scene of a series of stuccoed, colour washed properties with inset sash and casement windows under slate roofs. Set behind a front garden with a driveway in front of a garage, this property now lends itself to considerable improvement, and likely enlargement, and in fact many of the neighbouring properties have done so. The current accommodation is largely laid out over two floors with an entrance lobby and cloakroom, sitting room with a dual aspect, a spacious dining room which opens into the delightful garden and a kitchen. The first floor has two double bedrooms, a good single bedroom, and a bathroom. The cellar is dry and has good ceiling height but is currently used for storage. Externally, the garden is a delight and is largely terraced for ease of maintenance with mature shrubs including Hydrangea and climbing plants.
The Location:
St. James Villas is a very special address and 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 a short distance along on the left-hand side identified by our 'For Sale' board.
