This three-bedroom detached period house on a corner plot in Bitterne offers generous reception space and solid bones for a growing family. The property benefits from two large reception rooms plus a converted garage providing additional flexible living or separate-access space, and a decent rear garden with off-street parking.
The interior retains period character — bay windows, decorative moldings and a fireplace — but many areas will repay updating and redecoration. The front garden is overgrown and the front fence is dilapidated; some thermal improvement is likely needed as the party walls are cavity-built with no added insulation (assumed). There is a single family bathroom serving three bedrooms.
Practical features include a kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property is offered freehold with no forward chain, making it straightforward to progress. Local convenience is strong with nearby schools, shops and good transport links.
For buyers seeking a family home, this house delivers space and scope to add value through cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements. For investors, the layout and outbuilding/converted garage increase rental flexibility, though consideration should be given to refurbishment costs and the local above-average crime statistic.
