Summary - 32 SHIRLEY AVENUE SOUTHAMPTON SO15 5NG
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Renovated family space with large garden and development potential.
Over 3,000 sq ft across three storeys and cellar
A substantial five-bedroom detached family home offering over 3,000 sq ft across three floors, set on a large plot in tree-lined Upper Shirley. The house combines Edwardian character — high ceilings, period detailing and bay windows — with a newly renovated, open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, four bathrooms and a useful utility room. Multiple reception rooms plus a cellar give flexible space for family living, home working or hobbies. The rear garden is large, flat and child-and-pet friendly with a decked seating area and scope for further landscaping. Off-street driveway parking is provided to the front.
The property will appeal to families who need room to grow close to Shirley’s shops, parks, local schools and Southampton General Hospital. Practical points of value include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and previously granted planning permission to build a dwelling in the rear garden — an opportunity for ancillary accommodation or a development subject to checks.
Buyers should note a few material drawbacks: the local area records higher crime and significant area deprivation, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Walls are original cavity brick with no confirmed added insulation (assumed), which could mean higher running costs unless upgraded. Despite being newly renovated internally, any buyer should verify all renovations, services and planning details independently — including the rear-building permission and any party-wall or access implications.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home in a well-connected part of Southampton, offering immediate move-in condition and clear potential for value enhancement by improving insulation or pursuing the garden development option.
