Castle Street, Christchurch £749,950

This DECEPTIVELY SPACIOUS and BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED GRADE II LISTED THREE-STOREY TOWNHOUSE is ideally located on CASTLE STREET, in the HISTORIC HEART of CHRISTCHURCH TOWN CENTRE. Dating back to the 1650s, the property may well have stood witness to the events of the ENGLISH CIVIL WAR, which unfolded at CHRISTCHURCH CASTLE in the 17TH CENTURY. The 2,200 SQ. FT of well-planned accommodation enjoys PANORAMIC, ELEVATED VIEWS of CHRISTCHURCH PRIORY, the historic 11TH CENTURY CASTLE RUINS, and the RIVER AVON. Designed with an upside-down layout to maximise these stunning vistas, it combines period charm with modern living in one of Christchurch’s most sought-after and historic locations. The top floor hosts a bright and airy sitting room, flooded with natural light from traditional sash windows fitted with plantation shutters. A bespoke window seat and custom-built bookshelves frame the central window, creating a peaceful reading nook with uninterrupted views of the Priory and Castle Ruins. To the rear, the stylish kitchen/diner is fitted with an extensive range of cream units, quality granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar and integrated Neff appliances including a combi oven, five-ring gas hob, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher. Double doors open onto a private, south-facing roof terrace – a true sun trap – providing the perfect space for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sun. Across the first and ground floors, you’ll find three generously sized double bedrooms, each with access to either a private bathroom or en suite. The double aspect principal bedroom features a dressing area and a sleek three-piece shower room. Another first-floor bedroom enjoys elevated views of the Priory and Castle Ruins. The ground floor offers excellent versatility, with a large double bedroom, modern shower room and a utility area with additional worktops, space for white goods and an induction hob already installed – ideal for use as a self-contained annexe for multi-generational living or income potential. This floor also benefits from soundproofing in the hallway adjoining the neighbouring hotel, ensuring peace and privacy. Additionally, there is a large area of understairs storage, providing practical and convenient space for household items. A bespoke Georgian-style tiled porch provides an elegant welcome at the front entrance on Castle Street. At the rear, a secure gated entrance from The Ducking Stool leads to private, allocated parking for two vehicles. A convenient dumbwaiter system serves all three floors, adding practicality to daily living. Located just a short stroll from Christchurch’s boutique shops, cafes, riverside walks and historic landmarks, this exceptional home offers the best of both convenience and lifestyle. Well-connected via Christchurch mainline station, with direct trains to London Waterloo and close to the sandy beaches of Mudeford, the New Forest National Park and highly regarded local schools including Twynham School, Christchurch Infants and Christchurch Priory School.
