Set back on a quiet close within easy walking distance of Southampton General Hospital, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a practical, single-storey layout and a large private rear garden. The property benefits from driveway parking, double glazing, mains gas central heating and good mobile and broadband coverage — useful for those wanting to stay connected. A sizeable loft presents conversion potential subject to planning and building regulations.
The bungalow is a clear DIY/refurbishment opportunity; internal updating and cosmetic renovation are required to make the most of the space. The plot is generous for this type and offers scope to extend (loft conversion) or re-landscape the garden to create a low-maintenance outdoor living area. Its freehold tenure and affordable council tax make it a sensible choice for buyers looking to downsize without losing outside space.
Buyers should note practical risks: the area has above-average crime levels, local deprivation indicators are higher than average, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. The loft conversion, while attractive, will require formal permissions. Overall, this home suits someone seeking a manageable project to personalise, rather than a move-in-ready property.
