Summary - 28 WATERHOUSE LANE SOUTHAMPTON SO15 8QD
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming starter home with garden and parking close to shops.
Two well-proportioned double bedrooms
A classic Victorian mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and genuine period charm, set within walking distance of Shirley High Street. The house offers straightforward living across two floors, a generous rear garden and a driveway for off-street parking — rare for terraces in this area. Its size and layout make it an appealing first home or an entry-level buy for couples.
The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Local transport links, nearby schools (several rated Good) and city-centre amenities are all easily accessible, making daily life convenient.
Buyers should note the local context: crime levels are high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect future resale or rental yields. The house appears to need cosmetic updating and the original cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy efficiency improvements may be required. The plot is modest, though the rear garden is a practical outdoor space.
Overall this is a value-minded opportunity for a first-time buyer or buyer willing to invest modestly in improvements. It offers period character, sensible parking and a central Shirley location — with clear potential for uplift through targeted refurbishment.
