This Victorian-style four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bitterne Park combines original period character with practical family space. High ceilings, ornate coving, bay windows and three open fireplaces create strong curb appeal and a warm, traditional interior. The property sits on a decent plot with an enclosed rear garden, patio, vegetable patch and two timber sheds.
Accommodation is well laid out for family life: a reception hall, bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, utility/sun room and a downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. A boarded attic with front and rear Velux windows and two radiators provides obvious scope to create extra living space (subject to planning and building regs).
Key practical points include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, freehold tenure and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The house is in a very affluent, low-crime area close to highly rated local schools — strong positives for families.
There is still renovation potential: the property retains many original features but would benefit from selective updating and insulation improvements (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). With a current EPC rating of D and only one bathroom for four bedrooms, buyers should budget for energy and modernisation works if desired. Overall, this home suits a family seeking character and space with scope to add value through sensible refurbishment.
