4 bed detached house for sale

Douglas Crescent, Southampton, Hampshire SO19

Douglas Crescent by Marco Harris.

From the moment you enter behind the green front door—with its exquisite stained glass windows—a sense of space and character washes over you. Right of the hallway is the first of four double bedrooms, freshly refurbished to feel bright, clean, and welcoming. Opposite this is a versatile home office or storage room. The main bathroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a dual vanity unit, double shower with both traditional and rainfall options, a freestanding roll‐top bath, modern tiling, and a heated towel rack. Past the hallway you’ll find a second double bedroom/playroom, complete with a charming lower bay window, and bathed in natural light. Adjacent is the main living room, with parquet flooring and an exposed brick chimney housing a log‐burning stove, offering warmth both literally and aesthetically.

The heart of the home is the open‐plan kitchen/dining space (approx 23′ × 18′). Vaulted ceilings reveal original beams, while deluxe windows flood the room with light—making it a perfect spot for everyday family life and entertaining alike. A neat utility room, tucked off the kitchen, offers laundry convenience without compromising style. Upstairs, two more generous double bedrooms await, served by a fully tiled shower room. Every bedroom is well‐proportioned; every space thoughtfully designed.

Set on a genuinely rare quarter‐acre plot in Douglas Crescent—a size you simply don’t find often in this part of Southampton. The electric roller‐door opens onto a power‐lit double garage (approx 15′6″ × 15′), with sleek internal access to the kitchen. Surrounding it is an expensive driveway, offering secure off‐street parking for multiple vehicles. Step through to the rear and you’re greeted by a sun‐soaked garden that’s thoughtfully split into three distinct zones, perfect for al fresco dining, sipping morning coffee, or evening entertaining. Bordered with a bounty of mature shrubs and planting. This year-round oasis transitions beautifully with the seasons—the centrepiece being cascading purple wisteria that frames the lower garden in a breathtaking floral display when in bloom. At the very back, tucked away, sits an L‐shaped brick outbuilding, fully electrified and ideal as a home office, gym, garden room—or all three.

Douglas Crescent, Bitterne, represents the pinnacle of sought‐after family living. Lined with a unique range of character homes, it’s widely regarded as one of the most requested roads in East Southampton. Those seeking a full‐size detached residence with individuality won’t find many better options.

Within moments, you’re on the M27 motorway, making easy work of commutes to Southampton city centre, surrounding towns like Hedge End and West End, and beyond. Local conveniences—including independent shops and takeaways—are all within reach, while supermarkets such as Marks & Spencer Food Hall in Hedge End are just a short drive away.

Families will love the proximity to a range of schools, Hedge End, and West End, as well as outstanding recreational facilities. West End hosts the Utilita Bowl, home to top‐class cricket and David Lloyd, currently undergoing a £5 million transformation into a destination spa and leisure venue.
