End-of-terrace Victorian cottage with sash windows and original features
An appealing three-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage in Lower Swanwick, Riverview Terrace occupies a prime end-of-row spot with period charm and waterside proximity. The house retains original features — sash windows, ornate Victoriana tiling, wood floors and open fireplaces — and benefits from a large kitchen/breakfast room with lantern skylights and French doors opening onto a secluded brick patio.
The layout suits a small family or buyers who value character: two reception rooms, a generous kitchen hub, two first-floor bedrooms and a loft retreat bedroom with treetop views. The garden is established and private, with local-brick patio, shed and rear access. Off-street parking is provided via a driveway to the side. Nearby are riverbank walks, Swanwick Lakes reserve and the River Hamble marina, giving easy access to coastal recreation and local amenities.
Be aware of a few practical points: broadband speeds are very slow, heating uses LPG gas rather than mains natural gas, and some interior areas show dated finishes with potential damp in the living room (images indicate old carpet and period fireplaces). The plot is small and the property footprint is modest, so those seeking large gardens or extensive internal space should note limitations. Council Tax band C and mains services are connected (water, electric, sewerage). Overall, this is a character-rich cottage offering coastal lifestyle potential with some scope for updating to modern standards.
