This extended three-bedroom semi-detached home in Upper Shirley combines spacious family living with convenient city access. The ground floor features a show-stopping open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors to a low-maintenance rear garden and a useful utility area — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The property also offers driveway parking, a garage/workshop and a powered garden room that increases flexible living space.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom; the principal bedroom benefits from a bay window and built-in wardrobes. The house dates from the 1930s and retains period character such as a front bay window and fireplace, while modern touches include a skylight in the living area and fitted kitchen. The location is a strong selling point — close to King Edward VI School, local primary schools, the city centre, mainline rail and large open spaces at The Common.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold, on mains gas with boiler and radiators, and has double glazing installed before 2002. The cavity walls were built without fitted insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential insulation and glazing upgrades to improve energy efficiency. There is one family bathroom only. Overall this is a large, well-located family home with good outdoor space and scope for further modernisation to add value.
