A substantial three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering generous living space (approx. 1,462 sq ft) in Newtown, Southampton. The house combines period character — bay window, mouldings and a fireplace — with practical living: an open-plan lounge/diner, separate kitchen-diner, ground-floor WC and a small low-maintenance courtyard garden. Presented in generally good decorative order, it is move-in ready for a family who values space and proximity to local amenities.
Practical features include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002 and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband — useful for home working and family connectivity. The property is freehold and benefits from on-street parking and a basic lean-to at the rear that can provide storage or a small utility area.
Buyers should be aware of material and location considerations. The terrace was built circa 1900–1929 and the original solid brick walls likely have no insulation, which may mean higher winter heating costs or the need for thermal upgrades. The existing glazing is older double glazing and could be replaced for better efficiency. There is one family bathroom serving three bedrooms.
The property sits in a very deprived area with a higher-than-average crime rate; purchasers should weigh local social factors alongside the home’s space and school access. On the positive side, several nearby schools have good to outstanding Ofsted ratings, and local amenities — shops, cafes, healthcare and restaurants — are within walking distance. This home suits families seeking roomy period accommodation with scope to improve energy performance and personalise interior finishes.
