Property description
***OPEN DAY, SATURDAY 11TH MAY 2013 - PLEASE CALL TO BOOK YOUR PLACE - Perfect Period Property Project*** This is a mid-terrace, period property built in 1881, set in the heart of old Winchester's city centre. Its quiet cul-de-sac location means passing traffic is minimal, while its proximity (short walking distance) to the city centre and mainline rail station renders it a perfect base for someone looking for a central home, with plenty of character. The property is in need of modernisation and currently benefits from an open-plan reception room, kitchen, conservatory, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is potential to expand the property and to develop into the roof space as well. There is gas central heating and cavity wall and loft insulation.
Living/Dining Area - 26' 7'' x 13' 0'' (8.12m x 3.97m)
The two original reception rooms have been knocked through to create a lovely open plan space, with windows to the front and rear. There is a chimney breast with a gas fire mounted on it but with a working chimney behind should someone wish to open this up. There is also a double panel radiator and access through to the kitchen.
Kitchen - 8' 11'' x 8' 3'' (2.72m x 2.52m)
The kitchen currently consists of a range of eye and base level units with a roll top work surface, a sink and drainer beneath the window to the conservatory and a tiled splash-back. There is a free-standing fridge freezer, a further window to the side aspect and a single panel radiator. The flooring is vinyl.

The property's roof was re-felted and re-slated in the 1980s.
