This mid-terrace Victorian house on Northam Road offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Southampton property ownership.

Practical positives include a private enclosed rear garden, double glazing, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. The property is chain free and freehold, with low council tax and a realistic rental estimate around £1,500 pcm, making it suitable for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the neighbourhood records very high crime and sits within a very deprived area, which will affect desirability and resale. The walls are original solid brick with no known insulation, so energy efficiency improvements are likely needed to reduce bills and improve comfort. The plot is small and the house is of typical Victorian terrace proportions, so extensions are limited.
Nearby amenities and diverse places of worship reflect an active local community; schools are mixed with several rated Outstanding. Transport links to Southampton city centre and major motorways are strong. Overall, this is a characterful, affordable Victorian terrace that rewards modest investment and practical upgrades.
