Chelsea gold medallist Hillier of Romsey has created a marvel at Grade II-listed Mulberry House in Winchester, a place that is as suited to entertaining (thanks to the pergola-covered barbecue) as it is to relaxing in the greenery surrounded by the glorious flower beds—all ‘seasoned’ with fine views of the cathedral.
The fact that the gardens are bound by ancient brick walls (also listed) adds to the charm.
Currently on the market via Savills with a guide price of £6.95 million, the Grade II listed townhouse, located in the heart of Winchester, showcases some of the finest interiors we've come across, with plenty to offer.
The beautiful living areas include an open-plan kitchen that flows into the orangery-style dining room, a fantastic gym area located in the basement, a striking library and eight elegant bedrooms with pretty windows that overlook the garden.

Winchester: What you need to know

Atmosphere: The charming Cathedral city is England’s ancient capital, combining the best of city living with country life. It is home to the country’s largest farmers market and enjoys a lively community with plenty of year-round events.
Things to do: From the bustling shopping streets, glorious walks on the South Downs National Park, 11th century Cathedral and inspiring arts and theatre scene, there is plenty to keep all generations entertained.
