This well-regarded Gower D semi-detached house occupies a peaceful south-side cul-de-sac in Shirley and offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across two floors. The ground floor features two large reception rooms, including a 14'9 lounge overlooking the rear garden and a 16' dining room to the front, plus a spacious kitchen/breakfast room and useful utility space. All three upstairs bedrooms are genuine doubles and the large family bathroom serves the floor.
The property is freehold, double glazed, gas centrally heated and sits on a decent plot with a delightful rear garden, garage and off-street parking. There is clear scope to extend to the side, rear or loft and to convert the garage, as neighbouring Gower D houses have done — offering tangible potential to add bedrooms, en-suites or additional living space (subject to consents).
The house is presented in good order and has been much loved, but some areas show dated finishes and will benefit from modernisation to realise full value. EPC D and council tax is described as expensive; prospective buyers should factor likely refurbishment costs and any planning requirements for extensions. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime make this a strong practical choice for families commuting to Croydon or central London.
Nearby schools include several highly rated primaries and good secondaries, while local shops, cafes and Millers Pond are within easy reach. For buyers seeking a spacious period property in an affluent, well-connected area with clear extension potential, this Gower D offers a rare opportunity.
