This attractive four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house sits on Arthur Road, a short walk from Shirley High Street, local schools and The Common. Original period features — bay window, moulded ceilings and fireplaces — give character throughout, while a large kitchen and separate dining room suit everyday family life.
The property offers generous driveway parking, a flat child- and pet-friendly rear garden and three good double bedrooms on the first floor with a fourth bedroom also upstairs. The principal bedroom offers scope to add an en suite should you wish to modernise the layout.
Practical considerations: the house is solid-brick (original construction) and likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency upgrades will be beneficial. There is only one family bathroom and a downstairs WC; the home will suit buyers happy to refresh or extend to increase facilities. The neighbourhood is mixed: good transport, excellent mobile and fast broadband, but local area deprivation and average crime levels should be noted.
This is a straightforward freehold family home with strong location advantages — schools, parks and transport — and clear potential for improvement to add value and comfort.
