This three-bedroom mid-terraced home on Sandpiper Road offers an affordable entry into Lordswood with practical living space and transport links close by. The layout is straightforward: separate living room, open-plan kitchen/dining, ground-floor W/C, and three upstairs bedrooms — useful for a growing household or sharers. The property is freehold with a small, low-maintenance patio garden, shed and gated rear access.
The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows mid-century external brickwork; some external and shed maintenance is needed. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators (property records also list electric heating feature—buyers should check the installed systems). Double glazing is present but install dates are unknown; walls are cavity with assumed partial insulation. The overall footprint is compact (around 697 sq ft), so space is best suited to buyers comfortable with modest room sizes.
Location is a practical strength: Lordswood has several ‘Good’ primary schools nearby, local green spaces and strong transport links into Southampton city centre and the M3. Council tax is described as low, there is no flooding risk, and mobile and broadband connectivity are good. Note the wider area classifications show mixed indicators; some streets are blue-collar terraces while the immediate neighbourhood is described as achieving.
This home will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable property to personalise and improve. It offers immediate occupancy potential with scope for cosmetic updating and modest external repair, rather than a full structural renovation. Important practical checks include the heating system details, insulation levels and the condition of exterior brickwork and shed.
