Set in the conservation area of Netley Abbey, this double-fronted Victorian detached house offers generous family accommodation across multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms. High ceilings, sash-style windows and cast-iron fireplaces retain clear period character while the first-floor rear rooms enjoy glimpses of Southampton Water. The sizeable, wrap-around garden, driveway and workshop/outbuildings add practical space and outdoor potential.
The house sits on a large plot with scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to relevant planning and conservation constraints). Internally there is versatile living space — four reception rooms plus a kitchen/diner, study, utility and ground-floor bathroom — that will suit growing families but also invites updating to modern finishes and systems.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the property lies in an area with above-average crime statistics and an expensive council tax band. Any structural changes or extensions will need planning consent because of the conservation area setting. Buyers should expect upkeep typical of a late-19th-century home and to budget for modernisation where desired.
Location is a strong selling point for families who value outdoor life and schooling. Netley Abbey village, the Royal Victoria Country Park and local infant and junior schools are all close by, with Netley station providing rail links to Southampton and Portsmouth. The combination of character, size and waterside proximity will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a period family home with scope to personalise and enhance over time.
