A three-bedroom link-detached house on a decent plot in Sholing, offered freehold with garage and mature front and rear gardens. At about 820 sq ft, the layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, cloakroom, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Broadband is fast and mains gas central heating with radiators is installed.
The property is a clear renovation project: external paint is peeling, interiors are dated (wood panelling, old carpets) and the cavity walls appear uninsulated. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown, so further thermal and electrical upgrades are likely to be needed. These works present scope to add value for a buyer happy to invest time and budget.
Location is practical for commuters and families: regular bus routes, local shops and quick access to the M27. Nearby schools are mixed in Ofsted results, with one outstanding primary and several rated requires improvement or inadequate — worth checking for specific catchment details. The area classification points to established households and retirement groups rather than a student market.
This home suits a first-time buyer or small family prepared to renovate, or an investor targeting refurbishment and resale. The low flood risk, affordable council tax and fast broadband are useful living benefits, but budget realistically for structural, insulation and cosmetic work before moving in.
