A traditionally styled 1930s semi in Shirley, this three-bedroom freehold home offers generous living space and practical outdoor space close to Southampton General Hospital. The ground floor layout includes a bay-fronted lounge with a log burner, separate dining room, L-shaped kitchen with a walk-in larder, and a large conservatory that doubles as flexible family space. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a dedicated home office off the landing.
Practical features include driveway parking for two cars, wider-than-average side access, and a decent rear garden with patio and lawn. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and its location gives quick access to Shirley High Street, M&S Food Hall, Southampton Common, and good bus and road links into the city and motorway network.
Important negatives are factual: the area has a high flood risk and crime is above average; the neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived. While the house is sound and characterful, many rooms show mid-century fittings and will suit buyers prepared to modernise to their taste. This is a practical, well-located family home or a buy-to-let for someone comfortable with the area’s risks.
