This three-bedroom end-of-terrace presents an affordable entry point in Woolston for buyers willing to modernise. The layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory and a small, low-maintenance rear garden with rear access and a brick-built shed — useful for storage or a workshop. The property is freehold and benefits from fast full-fibre broadband and mains gas central heating.
Internally the house is functional but dated: carpets, a brick fireplace and older fittings show wear and will need updating to suit modern tastes. The EPC is grade D and the construction appears to be post-war system-built with no confirmed insulation; buyers should budget for thermal improvements and likely cosmetic refurbishment. Windows are double glazed but installation date is unknown.
Location is practical for commuters and families: Woolston provides good transport links to Southampton city centre, nearby rail stations and the M27/M3 corridor. Several local primary schools are rated Good, while nearby secondaries report improvement needs. On the downside the immediate area scores high for deprivation and local crime is above average; buyers seeking quiet, low-crime neighbourhoods should consider this carefully.
Overall this property is best suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry out improvement works to increase comfort and value. With sensible investment to modernise heating, insulation and finishes, the house offers clear scope to create a comfortable family home or a rental with improved yields.
