2 bed flat to rent

The Close, Winchester SO23

Tenure: Leasehold

The apartment is accessed via a private partially walled garden towards the end of The Close, situated behind the cathedral. Having undergone substantial refurbishment within recent years the apartment provides premium accommodation, tastefully finished to compliment the character and history of its surroundings. Upon entrance to the property, you arrive to a charming hallway with wall panelling, parquet flooring and cast-iron radiators. On the left lies the principal bedroom, carpeted and a comfortable double room with central diamond paned window. A smart dual access bathroom suite is located off the hallway and provides access through to a utility/ storeroom where the boiler and water tank are located. The bathroom is neatly tiled and features a modern bath with shower over. Further on, an additional room is found - a perfect study or occasional guest room. The dark wood parquet flooring continues from the hallway through to the sitting room, a beautiful room elevated by high ceilings, feature fireplace, large cast-iron radiators and a westerly aspect out to the private garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room is perhaps the showpiece. A sleek fitted kitchen with integral appliances sits underneath vaulted arched ceilings. Herringbone brick tiled flooring and arched windows and doors leading out to the gardens compliment the space.

The large partially walled garden surrounds the property. Two external stores and a covered log store are all within the grounds. A patio terrace is situated just outside the kitchen and by the entrance, otherwise the garden is largely laid to lawn. One allocated parking space is available within the close.

The Inner Close is set back behind the Cathedral and is a secluded and tranquil location, yet only 5 minutes' walk from the High Street, Winchester College and home to The Pilgrims' School. The gated entrance to the close is locked at night with residents having their own keys for access.
