This three-bedroom mid-terraced house offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Southampton’s Sholing area. The property is freehold and chain-free, with gas central heating, double glazing and a compact low-maintenance rear garden with rear pedestrian access. At about 861 sq ft the layout is traditional: lounge, fitted kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom.
The location suits commuters and first-time buyers — local shops (including a Tesco Express), schools and the M27 are all within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the house’s small garden is practical for busy households or low-upkeep lifestyles.
Buyers should note material points factually: the home was built in the 1950s–60s as a system-built terrace and the external walls are assumed to lack insulation. Double glazing install date is unknown. The area has above-average crime and is classed as deprived, and nearby schools have mixed Ofsted ratings. The single bathroom and modest plot size limit expansion without planning or loft/extension work.
This property will suit first-time purchasers seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or investors looking for rental potential after basic updating. Any buyer wanting higher energy efficiency or cosmetic modernisation should allow budget for insulation, potential upgrades and routine maintenance.
