Set on a level plot in Highfield, this five-bedroom detached house delivers substantial family accommodation across 2,238 sq ft. The ground floor offers a large living room with bay window, fireplace and patio doors, a generous kitchen-diner with square bay and direct garden access, plus a separate utility and internal access to the integral double garage. Upstairs are five double bedrooms, two with walk-in dressing areas and en-suites, and a fitted four-piece family bathroom.
The property is chain free and well-located for family life: Southampton Common, Portswood High Street and several highly rated schools are all within easy reach. The rear garden is private and child-friendly with a paved seating area and lawn; off-road parking for multiple cars leads to twin garage doors. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and crime levels are low.
Practical points to note: the house was built in the early 1990s and has double glazing fitted after 2002; the boiler and radiators use mains gas. Council tax is described as expensive, and the wider area includes cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods and a diverse local population — factors to consider for families seeking a quieter street. Showings will help assess ongoing maintenance and any modernisation you may wish to carry out.
This property will suit buyers looking for roomy, well-laid-out executive family living with potential for rental or future value growth given the area’s amenities and transport links. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, natural light and connection between living spaces and garden.
