Jeremy reports rise in demand for the City of Winchester

Since the budget, we’re seeing an increase in clients are registering to move and many are making plans to downsize.

Winchester has always been a popular city for all generations, and with so much to offer, it’s no wonder it’s now top of many homebuyers’ wish lists.

Winchester is steeped in history and few places can rival its charm within easy access of both London and the coast. The city itself offers history and culture in abundance with its striking cathedral at its heart and has for many years attracted both professionals and young families who are drawn to the many very good schools the city has to offer.

Winchester offers a blend of both classic Georgian and Victorian homes, period cottages, modern family homes and an array of apartments – all situated between two national parks with the New Forest to the south and the South Downs National Park to the east, with the incredible scenery and walking they offer.

As Christmas approaches, Winchester Cathedral hosts its annual Christmas market, which runs from November 22nd until December 22nd and is recognised as one of the best in Europe.  Modelled on the traditional German Christmas markets, it’s lined with wooden chalet stalls and twinkling Christmas lights, with the sound of Christmas carols and the aroma of mulled wine making this a truly magical place to visit over the coming months.
