Parmenter House, Tower Street, Winchester, Hampshire SO23

An elegant Grade II listed two-bedroom city apartment with its own private entrance, secure gated parking and an attractive enclosed garden

Description
Forming part of an elegant Grade II listed Georgian building, the apartment was created as part of a carefully considered conversion completed in 2017. The development comprises just nine residences, including seven apartments and two duplex homes, with dedicated parking.

The building retains all the character and architectural elegance expected of the Georgian period, with generous proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows providing an abundance of natural light throughout. Originally constructed as two substantial townhouses, it has been successfully adapted to provide a collection of distinctive homes in the heart of Winchester.

The apartment is exceptionally well presented and offers balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal living space and family bathroom. The impressive open-plan sitting room enjoys a dual-aspect orientation and incorporates a beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with a range of high-quality cabinetry and integrated appliances, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

An attractive open staircase leads to the lower ground floor, where there are two generous double bedrooms. Both bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and storage, while the principal bedroom enjoys the advantage of an en suite shower room.

Outside, the property is accessed via a wrought iron gate flanked by pillars, leading to an attractive private garden with mature shrubs providing excellent screening and privacy. To the rear, electrically operated gates provide access to a
secure residents' parking area, where the apartment benefits from an allocated parking space.

Location
Tower Street is centrally located in one of Winchester's most desirable locations, combining attractive period homes with city convenience. The varied architecture and the fact that the property occupies a quiet side road make it a particularly
appealing setting for life in Winchester's thriving city centre.

The property is situated approximately 0.3 miles from the historic, pedestrianised city centre, which offers an excellent selection of independent retailers, specialist shops, restaurants and cultural amenities, including the Theatre Royal, cinema and sports and leisure centre. Winchester is also renowned for its picturesque surroundings, with beautiful walks through the cathedral streets leading to St Catherine's Hill and the water meadows at St Cross. The Itchen Navigation provides scenic walking and cycling routes south of the city towards a number of charming Hampshire villages.

Winchester is exceptionally well connected by both road and rail. Regular services from Winchester railway station (approximately 0.2 miles away) reach London Waterloo in around 59 minutes, while the M3 provides convenient access to London and the South Coast via the M27. Southampton Airport is also easily accessible and offers an increasing range of domestic and international destinations. To the north, the A34 connects to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303, providing routes into the West Country.

The city is also renowned for its outstanding educational offering. Independent schools include Winchester College, The Pilgrims' School, St Swithun's School and Prince's Mead, attracting families from across the region and beyond. There is also an excellent choice of state education, including The Westgate School, Kings' School and the highly regarded Peter Symonds College.
