Set on Hartington Road in Newtown, this three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical first home or buy-to-let close to Solent University and Southampton city centre. The house combines traditional features — a bay-windowed lounge and period proportions — with useful everyday spaces including a separate dining room, utility room and a low-maintenance rear garden.
Internally the rooms are a comfortable size for the footprint (approx. 883 sqft): a full-width principal bedroom plus two further bedrooms upstairs, and a kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. Double glazing and mains gas central heating provide day-to-day comfort, and the long lease (c.860 years) removes a common leasehold worry.
This property is best suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept some cosmetic updating. Several internal images show dated décor and period fittings that will benefit from modernisation to maximise value. On-street permit parking and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity add practical convenience for commuters and students.
Be aware of local context: the area is classed as very deprived with higher local crime levels. The house is an older construction (pre-1900) with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation; buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements and standard surveys into budgets. Overall, this is an affordable, well-located terrace with clear scope to personalise or enhance for future resale or rental income.
