Characterful two-bed terrace with south garden and woodland backdrop.
Freehold Victorian terraced house with period character
A charming two-bedroom Victorian terraced home on Swift Road, offering generous rooms and a sunny southerly garden backing onto woodlands. The ground floor provides a bay-front lounge, formal dining room and an ultra-modern kitchen with integrated appliances. Upstairs the master bedroom stretches to 14'10" and the bathroom includes an airing cupboard. Outside, the small but well-laid-out garden features a lawn, seating area and a powered summer house — a peaceful retreat a short walk from the waterfront.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, double glazing, fast broadband/mobile signal and very low local crime. On-street permit parking is available (two permits currently; cost £30 each). Local amenities, schools rated Good and green spaces are all within easy walking distance, while Southampton city centre is quickly reached over the Itchen Bridge.
Make no mistake: the house has some running costs and upgrade needs. Heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, which may mean higher energy bills and future insulation costs. The plot is small and parking is on-street rather than private off-street garaging. Overall, this property will suit first-time buyers or couples wanting a characterful home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors.
