Set on a large plot in a highly sought-after Shirley location, this five-bedroom detached home offers substantial family space and genuine potential. Generous reception rooms include a lounge that opens to a conservatory, a large kitchen with lean-to side access, and a separate craft room ideal for hobbies or a home office. The wide rear garden with patio and lawn is a standout feature for outdoor entertaining and play.
The property requires renovation throughout, giving buyers the chance to modernise and personalise to their taste. The layout and room sizes lend themselves to extension or reconfiguration subject to planning, while the driveway and single garage provide convenient off-street parking and storage. Mains gas central heating and double glazing are present, though installation dates are unknown.
Practical considerations: there is only one family bathroom for five bedrooms, the Energy Performance Certificate is graded E, and the council tax band is above average. These are important factors for budgeting renovation costs and ongoing running expenses. Despite this, the home’s size, plot and location in a quiet, affluent area with good schools and transport links make it a strong option for growing families or buyers seeking a substantial home to update.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a purchaser prepared to invest in modernisation to unlock long-term value in a prime Shirley street. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale of the garden, the flexible room layout and the potential this detached house offers.
