Chesil Terrace, Winchester SO23

Charming, Newly Renovated 1880s End-of-Terrace Home on the River Itchen with Stunning Views.

Nestled at the end of a quiet terrace and overlooking the picturesque River Itchen, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom period home effortlessly blends historic charm with contemporary living. Originally built in the 1880s, the property has been thoughtfully modernised throughout, offering a stylish and comfortable home in a truly unique setting.

The ground floor features a light-filled kitchen/diner with modern fittings, seamlessly flowing into a separate sitting room complete with a cosy log burner and dual-aspect windows, framing scenic river views. A staircase between the two rooms leads to the first floor, while a separate access from the dining room leads to the basement—a versatile space with window, power, central heating and carpet, ideal as a home office or for additional storage (not suitable as a bedroom).

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a modern family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate large walk-in shower. The entire home benefits from new double-glazed windows and a high standard of finish throughout.

Externally, the tiered garden is a true highlight. It begins with a raised decking area perfect for morning coffee, leading down past flower beds, artificial lawn, and a garden shed, to a show-stopping riverside deck. Built right on the water’s edge, this private seating area is partially screened by a mature tree and enjoys abundant morning and afternoon sunshine - an ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining.

Additional features include a renovated outdoor W.C., a rare and characterful bonus.

The property is eligible for residents on street parking which can be found a short walk from the property.

This exceptional property offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and natural beauty, all within reach of local amenities and riverside walks. A must-see for those seeking something truly special.
