Set on one of Woolston’s most sought-after roads, this Victorian semi-detached house offers substantial family living across four bedrooms in a compact 1,031 sq ft footprint. Character features such as large bay windows, high ceilings and a separate dining room give the home immediate charm, while a generous driveway and rear garden provide practical outdoor space and off‑street parking for several cars. An outbuilding currently used as a workshop could be repurposed as a home office or hobby room.
The layout suits a growing family: a bright front sitting room, separate kitchen with space for a breakfast table, dining room and a useful utility room on the ground floor; four good-sized bedrooms and a traditional family bathroom upstairs. The principal bedroom benefits from bay-window light and storage potential. The property is freehold and chain-free, offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years.
Buyers should note this is a 1930s build with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation and an original heating system (mains gas boiler and radiators). The house will benefit from updating to kitchen, bathroom and thermal insulation standards, and there is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms. The plot is affected by a Tree Preservation Order which limits some garden works. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong locally.
Location advantages include nearby primary schools with Good Ofsted ratings, local amenities, and convenient access into Southampton city. Be aware the wider neighbourhood shows high crime statistics and significant area deprivation; purchasers should factor local social context into long‑term plans. Overall this is a characterful family home with clear potential for modernisation and value uplift for buyers prepared to update and insulate it.
