Property Details

The development seamlessly blends conventional British architecture with a contemporary façade. Interior design has been handled by the award-winning Darling Associates, who focused on a classically understated British sensibility. All homes are specified with premium features, including A-rated kitchen appliances, high thermal insulation, and energy-saving light fittings. Prospective homeowners can expect private outdoor space, as most properties benefit from at least one large balcony or terrace, with the townhouses featuring private gardens. Secure, designated underground parking is allocated to apartment residents, while townhouses include off-street parking. On-site, residents benefit from exclusive facilities, including a fully-equipped residents' gym, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a dedicated concierge service.

Location and Transport Benefits

The location offers excellent connectivity, being within a short walking distance (approximately ten minutes) of both Winchester city centre and Winchester Railway Station. From the station, commuter services offer a journey time to London Waterloo in just over an hour, with direct rail links also available to Southampton (approximately 16 minutes) and Basingstoke. Vehicular access is facilitated by the nearby M3 motorway, and Southampton Airport is reachable in approximately 20 minutes by car. The local area is known for its strong educational sector, with reputable schools such as Kings' School, The Westgate School, Winchester College, and St Swithun's School nearby. Winchester itself, recently named one of The Times' Best Places to Live in 2024, is noted for its cultural and culinary scene, featuring dining establishments like the Michelin-starred Kyoto Kitchen and Rick Stein’s Fish and Shellfish, alongside a variety of boutique shops and leisure facilities.
