Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac within the sought-after Rownhams House Park Estate, this five-bedroom detached home suits growing families who value space, good schools and easy commuting. The ground floor offers flexible living with a spacious lounge featuring an open fireplace and French doors to the garden, plus a bright bay-windowed kitchen/dining room for everyday life and entertaining.
Upstairs the principal suite includes fitted wardrobes and an en suite, while four further double bedrooms across the first and second floors provide room for children, guests or home working. Outside, a neatly landscaped garden, patio and large deck with hot tub create private entertaining space, and a detached double garage with driveway delivers strong practical appeal.
The property is offered freehold and has excellent local transport links to Southampton, the M27/M3 interchange and direct trains from Southampton Airport Parkway to London. It falls within the catchment for well-regarded local schools including Rownhams St John’s and The Mountbatten School, making it attractive for families prioritising education.
Honest points to note: the home needs some renovation and updating to realise its full potential, and there is good scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning). Council Tax is in Band F and local recorded crime levels are higher than average for the area; both are important considerations for buyers assessing running costs and local environment.
