Location

Beggars Lane and St John's Street are among Winchester's most attractive and historic streets, and are thought to follow the line of an ancient Roman road into the city. The area features a variety of historic and fascinating buildings, including The Blue Boar Inn, which dates to around 1340 and sits just below St John's Street. Nearby, Joyce's Garden - a little-known open green space - offers outstanding views across the city towards the cathedral and St Catherine's Hill.

The pedestrianised High Street in the city centre is approximately 0.3 miles from the property and provides a wide selection of shops, independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, and recreational facilities, including the Theatre Royal, the local cinema, and the cathedral grounds. Winchester offers a fine balance of history, culture, leisure, and a thriving social scene.

Winchester is also renowned for its excellent schooling and is home to St Swithun's, Pilgrims', Winchester College, and Prince's Mead, all of which are a particular draw to the city. There is also a strong choice of state schools, including Western and Westgate (currently within catchment), Kings' School, and the highly regarded Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.

The city is exceptionally well connected by road and rail, with London Waterloo accessible via a fast service in under 60 minutes from Winchester railway station (0.7 miles from the property). The M3 provides easy access to London and the South Coast, connecting with the M27 and Southampton Airport, which offers an increasing number of destinations worldwide. The A34 to the north links to Oxford and the Midlands, while the A303 provides a route to the West
Country.
