Set on a residential road in Bitterne, this three-bedroom detached home offers 1930s period charm, generous garden space and real scope for improvement. The property is being sold as a renovation project and will suit a buyer wanting to add value through updating and cosmetic modernisation. Full fibre broadband and convenient road and rail links make it practical for commuting and home working.
Inside, the layout provides a porch, entrance hall, lounge with bay, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, lean-to and two separate WCs on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The house retains character features such as a front bay and built-in bedroom storage, but several rooms and fittings will benefit from refurbishment to bring them up to modern standards.
Outside there is off-street parking for one car and a rear garden with mature shrubs, lawn and raised beds — a positive space for families or gardeners once refreshed. The freehold tenure, reasonable council tax band and an EPC rating of D are practical strengths, although updating the energy efficiency should be considered as part of any renovation plan.
Local amenities are strong: nearby schools rated Good and Outstanding, a local shopping parade, bus services and Bitterne rail station all within reach. Buyers should note the area records higher-than-average crime levels, the property’s modest overall size (approximately 756 sq ft) and that it requires renovation work before reaching its full potential.
