On the market for the first time in 40 years, three storey St Mary's House, which overlooks the parkland of Oram's Arbour, also boasts generous front and back gardens and off street parking for several cars. 

Approached through a welcoming reception hall, the property has a good-sized drawing room and dining room. Sliding doors lead out to a garden room and views over the west-facing terrace and lawns. A separate breakfast room opens to the kitchen, and a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is extremely generous with an adjoining shower room, and a door leading out to a balcony which can accommodate a table and chairs. Bedroom two has a wide balcony with equally fabulous views over the trees and rolling parkland of Oram's Arbour. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and a family shower.

The top floor extension was built in 2006, adding two bedrooms and a bathroom with tiled floors and underfloor heating. The dormer windows make the most of the height and light.

Steven Moore, of agents Savills Winchester, said: "This wonderful, individual family home overlooks one of Winchester’s most iconic green spaces, Oram’s Arbour.

"It’s the first time St Mary’s House has been on the market for over 40 years and with a particularly wide plot for a city setting, it offers an incoming buyer significant scope for renovation and potential extension.”

Clifton Road is regarded as one of Winchester's prime residential locations, an elevated position with views across the park at Oram's Arbour and the cathedral city itself.

The property is in a particularly convenient position with the railway station (0.25 miles) and city centre (0.25 miles) nearby, yet quiet with the park making it a peaceful spot. The Cathedral Close and Winchester College are within a short distance (0.3 miles) as are the water meadows at St. Cross.
