Driveway plus single garage for off-street parking
Two double bedrooms and third bedroom; one family bathroom

Set on a generous plot in a sought-after part of SO18, this three-bedroom detached home offers straightforward family living with useful outdoor space. The open-plan living/dining area is bright and well-proportioned, creating an easy flow for everyday life and entertaining. A driveway and single garage provide secure off-street parking while the sun-trap rear garden, complete with a summer cabin, extends living outdoors for children and socialising.
Practical systems are in place: mains gas boiler and radiators, and double glazing already fitted (installed before 2002). Bedrooms are arranged over the first floor, with two doubles and a third room suitable for a child, guest or home office. Local amenities are strong — outstanding primary and good secondary schools are nearby, plus regular bus links to the city centre, shops and leisure facilities.
There are some straightforward improvements to consider. The property has cavity walls with no insulation (assumed), and the glazing is older, so replacement or upgrades would improve energy efficiency and running costs. The interior shows period/1970s features and will suit buyers happy to modernise rather than those wanting a turnkey finish. There is one family bathroom and a separate ground-floor toilet.
This freehold house will appeal to families seeking space and proximity to good schools, and to buyers looking for a property with scope to add value through energy upgrades and modernisation. Note local crime levels are reported as above average — an important practical factor to consider alongside the many location benefits.
