This spacious three-bedroom detached house in Bitterne offers generous living space across about 1,306 sq ft on a large plot. The property retains period character including a front box bay, open fireplaces and original wood flooring, while practical additions include double glazing and mains gas central heating. A large enclosed rear garden, driveway and garage provide strong family appeal and scope for exterior entertaining or extension (subject to usual permissions).
Internally the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a 17ft lounge, separate dining room with patio doors, 16ft kitchen and a downstairs WC. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom plus a separate WC. The house is freehold with good local connections to Bitterne’s shops, schools and mainline station, plus fast fibre broadband for modern working needs.
Buyers should note some clear renovation items and limitations. The EPC is grade D and parts of the interior are dated — the kitchen and bathrooms would benefit from updating and the garage requires maintenance. There is a single family bathroom and an additional separate WC, which may limit convenience for larger households. Council Tax sits in Band E (above average).
Overall, this property suits a buyer seeking a roomy, characterful family home in a well-served suburban location, or someone looking for a project with potential to add value through targeted refurbishment or extension.
