Set on a quiet cul‑de‑sac in Marchwood Village, this five‑bedroom detached house suits growing families who prioritise schools and local amenities. The layout includes three ground‑floor reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with separate utility, and practical outdoor space with driveway parking and a garage. Double glazing, mains gas heating and a post‑2002 construction date give the house modern basics and low immediate maintenance needs.
Bedrooms are arranged across the first floor with two en‑suite shower rooms plus a family bathroom, helping weekday routines for larger households. The property sits on a decent plot with a low‑maintenance rear garden and benefits from good mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working and homework. Local bus links to Southampton add commuting convenience.
Important considerations: the home has an EPC rating of D and council tax is above average, so running costs may be higher than newer, more efficient properties. The internal footprint is modest for a five‑bedroom home, so some rooms are compact compared with larger family houses. Applemore College (the nearest secondary) is currently rated as requiring improvement; there is a highly rated independent secondary nearby if selective schooling is required.
Overall, this is a practical, well‑located family home offering flexible living space in a very affluent, low‑crime neighbourhood. It will suit buyers seeking school access and commuter links who are prepared for typical running costs for a home of this age and size.
