A substantial five-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home offering 1,833 sq ft of well-proportioned living space and a huge south-facing rear garden. The house retains many authentic period features—bay windows, ornate coving, ceiling roses, fireplaces and wooden flooring—creating strong character and family-friendly reception rooms for everyday life and entertaining. The layout includes three reception rooms, a generous kitchen and two bathrooms, plus an attic bedroom currently used for storage that could be refurbished into a bright fifth bedroom.
The property sits close to Southampton Common and local shops, schools and transport links, making it practical for family life. It is freehold, has gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council Tax is Band D (£2,266.44 for 2025/26), and there is no flood risk.
Notable drawbacks are factual: parking is on-street only and the area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect privacy and tenancy turnover. Bedroom five is currently used for storage and will require decorating and finishing to be a fully functional room. Overall, the house presents strong family living potential and scope for updating to increase value.
