Winning choice of new homes in Winchester
Famous as once being the home of Jane Austen and for its 900-year-old cathedral, where her tomb can be found, Winchester has been ranked in several lists of the best places to live in Britain.
Now, with a good choice of new homes available, Redrow is offering buyers the chance to start a new chapter and call the sought-after city ‘home’.
Budding author or not, Abbotts Walk features a range of properties definitely worth writing home about; everything in fact from one-bedroom apartments to substantial five-bedroom detached family homes.
Situated in the popular Abbotts Barton area, the bespoke designs offer a stylish solution to modern living and an alternative to owning an older property that may require lots of costly repairs and renovations.
Redrow area sales manager Julie Davies says: “In recent years Winchester has ranked as one of the best places to live in Britain in research carried out by Channel Four, Halifax and, more recently, The Sunday Times. They have all recognised the benefits that come with living in this beautiful historic city – good schools, low crime, longer life expectancy and low unemployment. The combination of these factors make Winchester somewhere people aspire to live and at Abbotts Walk we have plenty for buyers to choose from.
“For example, the Lydgate coach house with its own outside space would be ideal for a downsizer looking for more manageable accommodation or for someone starting over after a change of circumstances. First time buyers could spread the cost of homeownership by buying one of our two-bedroom homes with a friend. There’s also a good selection of properties that are ideal for families.”
Current prices at Abbotts Walk range from £229,950 to £599,950.
Whichever style of home is chosen, customers can rest assured that it will boast Redrow’s high specification interior as standard including a well equipped kitchen with integrated top brand name appliances, plus sleek modern bathroom and, in most properties, en-suite.
Located in Worthy Road, to the north east of Winchester, the homes enjoy a leafy setting with five acres of open space and mature woodland, plus a children’s play area forming part of the development.
Residents can follow a footpath from the development to the banks of the River Itchen and into the heart of Winchester, home to a wealth of amenities including high street stores and independent retailers.
With easy access to the A34 and M3 and with Winchester train station just over a mile away, the homes offer a good base for commuters. Trains whisk passengers to Southampton in 20 minutes and London’s Waterloo in around an hour.
To enjoy a new chapter at Abbotts Walk, visit the sales office and show homes, open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
