The Location – Winchester’s Finest Setting for Family and Lifestyle

Dell Road is quietly nestled on the eastern edge of Winchester city centre, offering a tranquil setting that still sits within easy reach of everything this historic city has to offer. Just a short riverside stroll from the bustling high street, the area combines leafy, green surroundings with a vibrant cultural and social life. This part of the city is especially favoured for its elevated position, providing stunning views across Winchester and access to beautiful open spaces such as the Water Meadows and St. Giles Hill, which is ideal for walking, jogging, or simply soaking in panoramic views of the cathedral and beyond.

Winchester is steeped in heritage and brimming with character. From the imposing Winchester Cathedral and the tranquil beauty of the South Downs National Park, to cobbled lanes filled with independent shops, artisan cafes, and award-winning restaurants, the city offers an exceptional lifestyle. Top-rated dining establishments such as The Chesil Rectory and Kyoto Kitchen are just a short walk away, as are cultural attractions including the Theatre Royal and Winchester City Museum. The location is also a commuter’s dream, with Winchester railway station less than a mile away, providing direct links to London Waterloo in under an hour. For motorists, the M3, A34, and M27 are easily accessible, and Southampton Airport is just 13 miles away. Education is another major draw, with prestigious private schools such as Winchester College, St. Swithun’s, and The Pilgrims’ School close by, alongside excellent state options including Westgate School, Kings' School, and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.
