There is no available housing in Winterhold. The only residence you can acquire there is within the College, after completing its quest.

But even with the hearthfire dlc? It's the one where you build houses etc. Shouldn't i be able to build a house somewhere in that hold?

Nope. Even with Hearthfire there is no plot available.
From the wiki:

Due to a lack of residences caused by the cataclysm, it is not possible to purchase a house in Winterhold. Even with the Hearthfire DLC, Winterhold remains the only hold where it is not possible to purchase property. The Dragonborn will have to enroll at the College of Winterhold, which will entitle the Dragonborn to a dormitory within the College. Completing the entire College quest line will confer upon the Dragonborn the position of Archmage at the College, and thus ownership of the Archmage's quarters.

After encouraging Ranmir to settle his debts with innkeeper Dagur at The Frozen Hearth Inn, the beds in the rooms on the left hand side of the inn are available to use for free. It is permanent and can easily substitute as a house, although there is not as much space.

This mod will add a house for you in Winterhold, plus a bunch of other stuff. You can however just get the mod for that house only if that's all you really want.
