Summary - 61 COMMERCIAL STREET, SOUTHAMPTON SO18 6LY
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Practical detached family home with parking and refurbishment potential.
Detached three-bedroom house with conservatory and small rear garden
This three-bedroom detached house in SO18 is a practical family home with detached status, off-street parking for two cars and a conservatory that opens onto a small, enclosed rear garden. The layout includes a generous front lounge, kitchen/diner and useful downstairs w/c, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is freehold and sits on a modest plot typical of suburban infill.
The interior presents traditional mid-20th-century finishes — textured ceilings, fitted cabinetry and carpeted rooms — and is tidy but dated. Key upgrade opportunities include modernising the kitchen and bathroom, improving insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and general cosmetic refurbishment to increase comfort and value. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install date unknown).
Important sale details: this is a Probate sale offered through the Modern Method of Auction. There is an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price including VAT, subject to minimum), additional buyer fees, and a requirement to complete within 56 days. Buyers must complete their own due diligence; a Buyer Information Pack is provided. These terms materially affect closing costs and timing and should be reviewed before viewing or bidding.
Suitable buyers are families or investors seeking a detached house with scope to add value through refurbishment. The house is in an affluent, well-connected area with good broadband and mobile signal, average local crime levels and nearby schools and amenities. Expect modest room sizes and a small plot — attractive for low-maintenance external upkeep but limiting for major extensions without planning checks.
