This detached three-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on a large plot in a desirable Shirley location, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The house delivers generous room sizes throughout, including a 21ft living room, spacious kitchen, conservatory and an upstairs bedroom — ideal for families, home workers or buyers seeking flexible living space.
The standout feature is the impressive 100ft rear garden, excellent for children, entertaining or creating a landscaped retreat. A wide driveway provides off-street parking for up to five vehicles and a garage offers additional storage; there's scope (STPP) for further improvement to the frontage.
The property dates from the 1930s–1940s and has original solid-brick construction with double glazing; however it requires modernisation throughout. Expect dated decor, exposed beams and features that may need updating, with likely opportunities to improve insulation, heating efficiency and internal layouts to add value.
Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools rated ‘Good’, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make this practical for commuters and families. Council tax is described as expensive; buyers should verify every detail, and viewings are recommended to appreciate the size and potential on offer.
