Steeped in the history of one of Winchester’s oldest streets, Wool Cottage occupies a charming position on St John’s Street, a medieval route into the city. Believed to have originated as a stable or ancillary building before later being converted into a characterful residential home, the cottage has a fascinating past that adds to its unique appeal. Its distinctive name, Wool Cottage, further enhances its character and sense of history, while its position places it within the rich architectural and historic setting of central Winchester.
Located on one of Winchester’s most sought-after roads, this is a perfect opportunity for professionals or commuters seeking convenience and charm. The ground floor offers an open-plan layout that creates a bright and roomy atmosphere, further enhanced by high ceilings and tall sash windows. The fitted kitchen is thoughtfully separated from the living space and features a good range of fitted units, a breakfast bar, and a large separate storage cupboard.
Upstairs, the first-floor benefits from an open landing with access to two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the main bedroom boasting an enviable aspect and enjoying picturesque views of the historic cathedral. The bedrooms are served by a good size family bathroom.
This charming home also benefits from a large loft space with ample head height, offering excellent storage and potential for further use (subject to necessary permissions). Recent improvements to the home include new double galazed sash windows to the front of the property, new boiler installed in 2022 and new carpets in April 2026, plus the current owner is replacing the back windows to double glazed heritage flush casement windows.
Outside, the property enjoys an excellent entertaining space in the form of a private enclosed courtyard garden.
