The Down House Cottage Less Than 3 Miles From The Heart Of Historic Winchester.

Winchester, Hampshire

Located in Winchester, Hampshire, in the South of England, this cosy Victorian cottage is the perfect retreat for 2/3 guests. Recently renovated, the cottage features a king-size bed, a bathroom with a large walk-in shower, and a private sitting room with a flat-screen TV, DVD player, and a log-burning stove. The dining area overlooks a mature garden, creating a peaceful ambiance. The small kitchen is equipped for light catering, and there is a washing machine for convenience. Wi-fi is available, and ample secure off-road parking is provided.

The cottage is situated within the South Downs, offering beautiful walks along the River Itchen and on the South Downs right at the doorstep. Shawford, the village where the cottage is located, has its own train station, making day trips to London, the New Forest, or the South Coast easily accessible. Winchester, the ancient capital, is less than three miles away and can be reached in a four-minute train ride. The city offers acclaimed restaurants, historic pubs, pavement cafes, a buzzing High Street, live theatre, and attractions like Jane Austen's house and the Bishop's old Palace.

Shawford village itself has a local pub serving good 'pub grub' and featuring a large beer garden. The Down House Cottage is attached to the owners' family home but has its own separate front door, ensuring privacy for guests. While occasional noise transference may occur due to the attachment, the cottage provides a peaceful and comfortable stay. The family has two friendly labradors and a cat, and the premises are non-smoking. Guests can enjoy a small outside courtyard for breakfast and explore the picturesque surroundings of Winchester and the South Downs during their stay.
