Blore House is a beautiful period house on St Giles Hill originally built for a Master of Winchester College in 1896. The current owners have renovated and enhanced it over 27 years. Taking advantage of the spectacular south-facing views towards St Catherine's Hill, the house is both private, yet within half a mile of Winchester High Street and the water meadows. The house has some wonderful original features, including some leaded windows, wide internal doors, wood panelling and wood surrounds to the fireplaces.
From the entrance hall, a door leads to the magnificent double aspect drawing room which has an open fire with original wood surround and fitted cupboards, wood flooring and double doors to the terrace and garden. A further door from the hall leads to a cosy sitting room with fitted shelves and cupboards. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room has Travertine flooring, a range cooker and American style fridge freezer. There are doors to the east terrace - ideal for enjoying the morning sun. Double doors lead from the kitchen to the adjoining dining room which has a woodburner (installed in 2018) and original wood surround. In addition on the ground floor is a WC/utility/shower room with underfloor heating.
On the first floor are five double bedrooms, three of which enjoy the southerly views, one with a balcony and one of which has an en suite bathroom. There is also a large family bathroom. The bridge connects the first floor to Quarry Road with the original front door.
Substantial attic rooms can be accessed by the spiral staircase and a loft ladder from the fourth bedroom. These areas are currently used as home office space, hobby rooms and storage.
The gardens of Blore House are of particular note. The current owners have transformed them into Italian inspired terraces and lawns with planting to enhance the vista. There are stone patios to enjoy outdoor entertaining. To the side of the house is the parking and garage. The plot measures approximately 0.5 acre.
