Three generous bedrooms and two reception rooms, traditional 1930s features
Ground-floor shower room plus first-floor family bathroom
Detached garage and wide driveway for multiple cars
Large rear garden and unusually big plot for in-town setting
Requires cosmetic modernisation; dated decor throughout

This characterful 1930s semi-detached house offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms and useful driveway parking with a detached garage. Situated in Upper Shirley, the location is extremely convenient for The General Hospital, the University and local shops, green spaces and reputable schools — practical for families and professionals.
The interior retains traditional features including a bay-windowed sitting room and a Victorian-style fireplace, while the layout includes a ground-floor shower room plus a first-floor family bathroom. The loft offers potential for conversion subject to the usual planning and building regulations, which could add habitable space and value.
The property would benefit from modernisation: dated decor and some cosmetic updating are needed throughout, and the double glazing install date is unknown. The large rear garden and generous plot provide excellent scope for landscaping, extensions or creating a home office/annex from the garage, subject to permissions.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax band is moderate and there is no flood risk recorded. Buyers should expect an average-sized house internally (approximately 864 sq ft) on a notably large plot, with renovation potential rather than a fully turnkey finish.
