Situation Mulberry House is located in the heart of historic Winchester 160 metres from the shopping centre with views towards the cathedral and beyond to St Catherine’s and St Giles Hill. The property is situated ideally for the pedestrian shopping centre in the High Street, with access to a wealth of shops, restaurants and recreational facilities including the Theatre Royal and local cinema. Winchester College and the water meadows of St Cross, which stretch along the banks of the River Itchen are nearby. There are splendid walks through the historic cathedral streets, the water meadows and on to St Catherine’s Hill. Winchester is 60 minutes by train from London Waterloo. The M3 motorway (junctions 9, 10 and 11) is within easy reach, making both London and Southampton readily accessible. The interconnection with the M27 makes Southampton International Airport easily commutable and also opens up the south coast and the New Forest. The A34 to the north provides access to Oxford, the Midlands and the A303 to the West Country. Education In addition to Winchester College, St Swithuns independent prep and secondary girls’ school and Pilgrims Prep School for boys are all conveniently located within the city.

City centre – 160 metres Railway station – ½ mile (London Waterloo 60 minutes) M3 motorway (junction 9) – 2 miles London – 70 miles (all mileages approximate) Mulberry House A Grade II Listed, predominantly Georgian, family house of 17th Century origin, is one of Winchester’s finest private residences. It’s located in the heart of the city with magnificent views of the western facade of the cathedral.

Mulberry House is believed to have been named after a Mulberry Tree that was planted in the rear garden by Charles II. Sadly the tree no longer remains. The property, which has been substantially extended and meticulously renovated by the current owners, is offered in first class condition both internally and externally, with bespoke finishes of a quality associated with prime London properties. Perhaps the most impressive element of the house is the magnificent ‘orangery style’ kitchen extension, which allows greater enjoyment of the garden and cathedral view. The extensive accommodation is arranged over 3 floors with the additional benefit of a large cellar. There is a one bedroom, integral, attached cottage, which could be utilised for staff or accommodation for dependant relatives.

Outside The rear gardens to the property have been designed by garden designers Hilliers of Romsey, gold medal winners at Chelsea Flower Show. An impressive terrace extends from the rear of the house, surrounded and interspersed with beautifully stocked and tended shrub and flower beds. This leads on to a pergola covered barbecue and Jacuzzi area, incorporating a fire pit and an American stainless steel barbecue. The lawn is bordered by sumptuous flower beds. There is a delightful summerhouse and the gardens are walled with substantial Grade II Listed brick walls which add to the privacy, security and charm of the setting. From the terrace a pathway leads through a large hedgerow to a substantial parking and turning area with adjacent triple garage and security gates leading out onto Symonds Street. The gardens are automatically irrigated and there is a sophisticated garden lighting scheme.
