The property An exceptional end-of-terrace townhouse in one of Winchester's most prestigious addresses.

Situated on Edgar Road in St Cross – one of the city's most desirable and exclusive locations – Number 1 Edgar Villas occupies a prime end-of-terrace position within this attractive 1980s-built development. Set on a wider-than-average plot and enjoying a discrete setting away from the road, this elegant red-brick home combines architectural character with light-filled, spacious interiors – a rare offering in such a sought-after part of Winchester.

A tiled storm porch shelters the front door, which opens into a generous entrance hall with polished wooden flooring. To one side is a useful cloakroom/utility, while opposite, a door leads through to the impressive open-plan living, kitchen and dining space. Bathed in natural light from windows on three aspects, this is a room designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. Features include a gas fire with marble surround, a sunny bay window overlooking the garden, French doors opening onto the patio, and elegant wood-style laminate flooring throughout.

The kitchen area is well appointed with a range of shaker-style wooden cabinets topped with black granite worksurfaces. Integrated appliances include a Neff oven and grill, separate gas hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A well-defined dining area enjoys views over the front garden and comfortably accommodates a large table.

On the first floor, the landing is bright and airy thanks to a striking picture window, and benefits from a large linen cupboard.

The principal bedroom benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes, a private ensuite bathroom, and a peaceful outlook to the front. This room was formerly part of a larger suite including the adjacent study/bedroom two and could easily be reconfigured if desired. A family shower room completes this level.

The second floor galleried landing features a full length window with classically designed porthole picture window within larger glazed panels, offering wonderfully elevated views.

There are three further bedrooms on this floor, two of which can easily be double bedrooms, and a third room currently used as an art studio. There is a family bathroom featuring an original corner bath, pedestal basin and wc.

Outside, the front garden is fully enclosed by mature hedging and specimen trees and has been maintained by the current owner as a naturalistic 'wild' garden, benefitting from both easterly and southerly aspects. To the rear, the south-westerly facing garden offers excellent privacy, with a lawned area, a sunny patio, and a recently installed glass garden room, ideal for year-round relaxation or entertaining.

A brick-built garage lies within the rear garden boundary and is suitable for a medium-sized car, with additional space for storage. A side door allows convenient access between the garage and the garden.
