A rare riverside Victorian semi-detached house offering direct views over the River Itchen and private pontoon access. The property features a south-facing, low-maintenance garden with side pedestrian access and an inner lobby leading to the rear; ground-floor layout includes sitting room with double-glazed bay and separate dining room. With three bedrooms and a single bathroom, the house suits a small family wanting character and waterside living close to Southampton city amenities.
The home requires a degree of modernisation and refurbishment throughout; systems are gas-fired boiler and radiators, with double glazing of unknown install date. There is a high flood risk for the location and the plot is small, factors that will affect insurance and adaptation costs. Tenure is not specified and the property is being sold chain free.
This is a straightforward project for a buyer seeking riverside character and future value uplift: the location and pontoon are standout assets, while the renovation scope and flood risk need clear budgeting. Local facilities, schools and good broadband/mobiles make it practical for family life, but buyers should take professional advice on flood mitigation and renovation costs before committing.
