Tucked away in a quiet location in the heart of Winchester, this mews cottage may be small in size but the owners have made great use of the space – the compact kitchen is a perfect example. Despite its cosy nature, it’s well-equipped with everything needed to rustle up a home-cooked meal – perfect for alfresco dining in the sunny courtyard during warmer months. Remote workers will appreciate the home study, and for those on holiday, you’re ideally located at the edge of the South Downs National Park with the added bonus of beaches within an hour’s drive.
