This handsome Victorian terraced house combines period character with a generous modern extension. Original features — a bay window, ornate fireplace, high ceilings and decorative brickwork — sit alongside an extended kitchen-dining room with gloss cabinetry, built-in appliances and bi-folding doors that open onto the rear garden. The living rooms provide flexible layouts for a sitting room and a second reception, home office or occasional third bedroom.
Upstairs offers two good-sized double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The property is freehold, offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and benefits from cheap council tax, making running costs comparatively low. A long rear garden of approximately 70+ feet is a standout for an urban terrace, with a patio, lawn, mature borders and a storage shed.
Important considerations: the house sits within a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood and local crime levels are reported as high; this may deter some buyers or affect rental demand and security needs. The plot is described as small despite the long garden, reflecting a narrow terrace footprint and limited forecourt. The property is best suited to buyers seeking period character with a rare urban garden — first-time buyers, small families wanting outdoor space, or investors targeting lettings in a city-centre student area.
Overall, the home offers a blend of Victorian charm and contemporary living space with genuine outdoor amenity in a central Southampton location. Buyers should weigh the garden and character benefits against the urban setting and local crime profile when deciding to view.
