This striking Regency-style townhouse on Henstead Road blends period character with practical city living. Set over four floors, the five-bedroom layout suits an owner-occupier family seeking generous room proportions and a private garden, or an investor planning a high-yield HMO. High ceilings, original details and a modern kitchen give immediate appeal while the gated tandem parking is rare in this area.
The house is chain-free and vacant, so a swift purchase and redecoration are possible. The basement provides two naturally lit rooms and a shower room — useful for guests, home office use or lettable bedrooms. The rear garden is low-maintenance paved space with mature planting and a shed, though landscaping would improve privacy and usability.
Buyers should note this is a pre-1900 solid-brick property with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and windows were double-glazed after 2002. The plot and overall site are small, and the area records higher local crime levels, which may be a concern for some purchasers or affect rental demand.
Location benefits include excellent mobile and fast broadband, a wide range of nearby amenities, and easy access to central Southampton. Good and outstanding schools are within reach, and the property’s flexibility makes it attractive for families seeking space in the city or investors targeting student and professional lettings.
