The Upper and Lower Barracks in central Winchester were developed over several years and have now become something of a landmark and aspirational address with a variety of homes arranged around garden squares. Provost Place is the final corner of the original buildings associated with the former barracks and will provide generous living space within five unique dwellings, each highly individual and personally specified.
Approached from Southgate Street and Archery Lane, this is a quiet corner, tucked away from passing traffic. The exciting scheme, designed by Huw Thomas Architects sees the retention of distinctive early Victorian architecture in four of the properties with one new build detached house blending with the environment.
Three linked houses around a formal landscaped courtyard are being created from period buildings set inside the ancient city boundary; each with three or four bedrooms and allocated parking.
A former guard house will have its iron columned veranda reinstated and will be reconfigured to provide a three bedroom house with integral garage
One newly built four bedroom detached house, bordered by the line of the original Roman wall, has been traditionally designed to echo the simplicity of Provost House, together with a double garage.
All homes will have impressive living space on the ground floor with good size bedrooms above with an innovative approach to the use of internal space incorporating plenty of storage. The opportunity to personalise the internal specification will appeal to many and all homes have private outside space in addition to a landscaped formal courtyard, together with allocated garaging or parking.
Winchester holds huge appeal for a wide range of purchasers from families keen to take advantage of the excellent schools in the area to retired couples who relish the history the city has to offer. Residents at Provost Place will be able to enjoy the café culture within the city, wonderful open spaces on the periphery and easy access to the station which brings London within an hour’s travelling time.
Prices have yet to be confirmed but are estimated to be £1.35m - £1.45m for each of the three houses around the courtyard which are anticipated to be completed in Spring 2016.
