Homebuyers lured by Winchester's ancient charm

Picturesque Abbotts Wood in Winchester is proving so popular that all of its houses are now sold. It is not the end for buyers keen to live at the sought-after David Wilson Homes development though – with six apartments still remaining.

“Abbotts Wood has been a tremendously popular development, due partly to its wonderful location in the heart of this historic city,” said Mark Docherty, sales director for David Wilson Homes.

“I am delighted with the response we have had from buyers seeking homes here. And not a bit surprised that all of these delightful houses have been snapped up. But there is still a chance for buyers to secure one of our superb two bedroom apartments. Time is running out though, I don’t expect them to be available for long.”

Priced from £263,995, the two bedroom apartments located in the Chapel Lodge building is the perfect size for a single person or couple. The fully fitted kitchen links directly with a combined living and dining area – ideal for all occasions. And the two bedrooms are spacious and there is a modern, colour-coordinated bathroom.

“These apartments offer the best of both worlds to anyone wanting to settle here,” said Mark. “Our designers have created style and luxury just a stone’s throw away from the tradition and history of Winchester – making this a truly unique living experience.”

Abbotts Wood enjoys a magnificent location in a woodland setting, close to the city centre. The railway station is just a 10-minute walk away - ideal for those commuting to London and other cities in the south.

Winchester itself is an ancient and vibrant city nestling on the edge of the South Downs. In addition to quaint shopping streets and fine architecture, local attractions include a magnificent 11th century cathedral and the Great Hall, which houses King Arthur's Round Table.

Winchester train station offers regular services to the capital, and the M3 and M27 provide transport links to Basingstoke, Southampton, the New Forest and the Dorset coast.

For further information on the last remaining homes at Abbotts Wood, please visit or call the sales office in Winton Close, open from 10am to 5pm Thursday to Monday.
