This four-double-bedroom detached house on Rufus Close is arranged for flexible family living. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite, and the home has two reception rooms — a dual-aspect lounge with a feature fireplace and French doors onto a sunny south-facing garden, plus a separate dining room that could serve as a home office, fifth bedroom or annexe. A recently fitted kitchen with granite worktops and a utility room add practical modern comfort.
Outside there is a double garage, driveway parking and an additional parcel of land offering scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). The rear garden has patio and decking with space for a hot tub and south-facing exposure for afternoon sun. The house was built between 1996–2002, benefits from double glazing and mains gas heating with boiler and radiators.
Notable negatives are factual: the overall property footprint and internal floor area are relatively small for a four-bedroom detached home, and council tax is above average. The immediate area records higher crime levels than average, which buyers should consider alongside the property’s other strengths. Some buyers may want cosmetic updating or to explore extension potential to better suit growing-family needs.
Well suited to families or professionals seeking good transport links to Southampton and the M27/M3 corridor, this home balances ready-to-live-in conveniences with clear scope for future improvement and added value.
