About this property

An exquisite house in an enchanting location. Bakers View is the perfect pied-à-terre in the cultural centre of Medieval Winchester.

This elegantly styled period terraced bolt hole offers you a very comfortable stay in the heart of one of the most historic streets in Winchester. Nestled along the Jane Austen Tour route, only a short walk from Winchester Cathedral grounds and gardens, this property in historic Kingsgate Village feels like you have been transported back to another age – whilst being moments away from Winchester’s modern amenities and buzzing gastronomic scene.

You will only be doors away from the best Public House in the city, The Wykeham Arms; which is noted county wide for its hearty pub food, and will welcome you in on your return from the high-street, theatre or the huge array of world class restaurants the city now boasts.

On the ground floor the lounge and separate kitchen offer a cosy period setting combined with all the practicality of a modern property. The lounge in particular makes the ideal area to settle down in after a days shopping in one of the cities numerous independent boutiques. It is furnished with a large sofa in front of the fireplace, perfect for those Winter nights in.

Canon Street itself has been used for numerous television adaptations and feature films due to the way the street has been preserved in its original Victorian style – once you come and stay you too will notice it is straight out of the pages of a Charles Dickens novel!

    Great location - smaller than I was expecting - well decorated but the kitchen was a challenge. Could have done with WiFi and a DVD player but otherwise very nice.

    My overall impression was quite good, but my wife was a little disappointed. I thought the cottage was cozy, well located, and had a good layout with a nice kitchen and master bedroom. She thought the fisheye view shown online was misleading, the loft bed very uncomfortable, and the bathroom floor needed a lot of help. Very nice being so close to the Wykeham Arms and the cathedral. Also very nice that Christmas decorations were provided. Very kind of cleaner to let us in to drop our suitcases when we arrived two hours early.
