Large Edwardian detached home with conversion potential, sold at auction.
Five generous bedrooms and large reception rooms throughout
A substantial five-bedroom Edwardian detached home on a corner plot in central Southampton, offered chain-free and sold at auction. The property benefits from exceptionally large rooms, high ceilings, a detached garage, gated driveway and a south-facing frontage, making it appealing for investors or buyers seeking a roomy family residence with redevelopment potential.
The house retains period character — bay window, stained glass and original staircase — but requires modernisation throughout. Services are untested; walls are cavity construction with no assumed insulation and the property will need updating to current standards (electrics, kitchens, bathrooms and decorative works). The EPC is listed at 60 and there is no flooding risk.
For investors the site offers clear scope to reconfigure or convert into multiple units (subject to planning). Note this is an online auction sale: a non-refundable reservation fee (3.6% incl. VAT, minimum £5,940) applies in addition to the purchase price and buyers should review the legal pack before bidding. The guide price is an indicator only and a reserve may apply.
Practical positives include excellent transport links (Southampton Central within walking distance), off-street parking, and mature gardens to front, side and rear. Consider the neighbourhood profile (students and professionals) and local crime rates which are higher than average when assessing lettings or family suitability.
