This well-presented mid-terrace home offers practical, family-focused living across two storeys. A recent refit has created an open-plan kitchen/dining and lounge that works well for everyday life and entertaining, with a breakfast bar and integrated dishwasher making morning routines easier. The property provides three generous bedrooms and a single modern bathroom, suited to families or those needing a home office or guest room.
Outside, the rear has been landscaped for low maintenance with a patio and artificial lawn, useful for children and pets. Off-road parking to the front and a garage at the rear are notable conveniences in this residential location. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, a relatively recent combi boiler (2014) and fast broadband — practical for commuting and home study.
There are some practical issues to consider. The area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation measures, which may affect suitability for some buyers. The house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation; double glazing is installed but predates 2002, so energy-efficiency improvements could be worthwhile. The plot is small, so outdoor space is limited compared with larger gardens.
Overall this home is a sensible, move-in-ready option for families and professionals seeking a modernised, low-upkeep house near reputable schools and convenient links into Bitterne and wider Southampton. It represents straightforward everyday living with clear potential for further improvement to energy performance and security if desired.
