Summary - 7 OLIVER ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO18 2JQ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Backs onto River Itchen with direct waterside views
Set on Oliver Road and backing directly onto the River Itchen, this semi‑detached 1930s family house offers genuine riverside living with generous garden space and off‑road parking. The property provides three well‑proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen, all arranged over an efficient traditional layout that will suit growing families or buyers seeking a calm riverside retreat.
The rear garden is a standout feature, landscaped into tranquil areas that lead down to waterside views — ideal for summer entertaining or quiet mornings by the river. Internally the lounge with feature fireplace and a separate dining room with sliding doors create a comfortable living flow; a garage and driveway provide practical parking and storage.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a high flood‑risk zone and the wider area has higher deprivation and a student neighbourhood profile nearby. There was a historic roof leak that has been fully repaired; a timber joist was affected but is reported sound. Broadband entry details and some construction material specifics remain to be confirmed.
This freehold home presents immediate live‑in comfort, plus scope to update and add value (loft access, side‑extension potential subject to consents). It’s well placed for local schools, parks, sport venues and transport links, making it particularly suitable for families who value riverside location and space but will need to factor insurance and flood mitigation into ownership costs.
