Each one of the 14 apartments has a magnificent view over the fairways

Designed by award-winning architect Huw Thomas, Connaught Square

WINCHESTER OFFERS ONE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY LIFESTYLES TO

BE FOUND IN BRITAIN TODAY.

It is quite simply a beautiful city, steeped in history, with the stunning cathedral

at its heart, yet coupled with an eclectic blend of chic boutiques, restaurants

and cafés, plus an excellent year-round cultural programme with highlights

including top class literary festivals, exhibitions and theatre productions.

All of this within easy reach of London, a choice of international airports, and

the beaches of the south coast as well as the natural beauty of the New Forest

and the South Downs National Park.

And of course, if you love golf, one of the best courses in the county

is on your doorstep.
