Make guests welcome: five-bedroom Winchester home for sale is already established as a first-class B&B

This five-bedroom, bespoke house in Winchester, minutes from the city’s boutiques and medieval cathedral, serves as a first-class B&B — though it was used as a dance studio in an earlier life.

Its grand rooms, offering 3,000sq ft of living space, include a vast beamed dining hall, an elegant sitting room opening to a south-facing courtyard, a kitchen/breakfast room with a striking island, marble worktops and a butler sink, and sleek, under-heated micro cement floors.

Each of the bedrooms is en suite and individually styled.

Priced at £1.5 million, through Winkworth (01962 460052).
