This 1930s semi-detached home in Maybush offers an accessible step onto the property ladder with practical space and good commuter links. The ground floor has a bright bay-fronted lounge and a contemporary kitchen-diner with pantry, while three first-floor bedrooms suit a growing household. A private rear garden with patio, shed and gated side access adds outdoor space, and driveway parking provides convenience.
The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing throughout and an affordable council tax band, helping running costs. Local road and rail connections (M3, M27, nearby stations) make commuting straightforward, and Shirley High Street is a short drive for shops and amenities. Several nearby primary and secondary schools include Good Ofsted ratings for some catchments.
Buyers should note material local-area factors: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and insurance. The property has a single bathroom and sits on a modest plot, so outdoor and storage space is limited. Internal photos and descriptions show some dated elements and typical wear of an older home; cosmetic updating or refurbishment could add value.
Overall, this freehold period house suits first-time buyers or investors willing to modernise for long-term gain. It delivers practical living space, off-street parking and strong transport links, but factor in local-area challenges and likely updating costs when assessing suitability.
