THE GUARD HOUSE

The Guard House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed property within the Lower Barracks, a historic residential setting in the heart of Winchester. Originally built as The Guard’s House and later used to detain unruly soldiers, the property forms an important part of the Winchester’s history.

Offering elegant, light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors with character and charm, the property has been thoughtfully converted into a private residence and has since been maintained to a very high standard throughout. Upon entering the house, you are welcomed by a generous reception room, ideal for greeting guests or relaxing in comfort. The kitchen, located at the heart of the home, has been stylishly fitted with a range of contemporary units, creating a highly functional yet inviting space. French doors from the kitchen open directly into a delightful courtyard garden – perfect for al fresco dining, reading or relaxing. To the rear of the property, a spacious sitting room offers an excellent space for entertaining or family life. Accessed from the hall is a ground-floor bedroom, a modern shower room, and a versatile garden room that opens on to a private terrace. This section of the house could easily be adapted to suit multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

On the first floor, there are three generously sized bedrooms, each with built-in storage and access to eaves space. The principal bedroom benefits from a newly fitted en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Additional features include substantial garaging with an EV charging point, overhead storage, off-street parking and a secure bin and cycle store. The location, layout, thoughtful design, and blend of period character with modern touches make this a truly exceptional Winchester home.
