This Edwardian semi-detached home in Bitterne Park offers spacious, traditional living across about 1,239 sq ft. Set on a pleasant street within walking distance of Riverside Park, the property has two reception rooms, a lean-to conservatory, fitted kitchen, downstairs shower room, upstairs bathroom and three double bedrooms — a practical family layout with scope to modernise and personalise.
The rear garden is a standout feature: established planting, a paved patio, lawn and useful outbuildings including a workshop and shed. Modern comforts include gas boiler central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and connectivity.
This home is offered chain free on freehold tenure and sits in an area with several well-regarded schools nearby, making it suitable for families. Notable negatives: the interior shows dated fittings and will require updating in parts, and the local crime rate is above average. Buyers should factor in likely refurbishment costs (cosmetic and potential systems upgrades) given the property’s age (built before 1900).
Overall, the house is best suited to buyers seeking character period bones with clear scope for improvement — a family looking to add value through renovation and modernisation.
