3 bed detached house for sale

Upper Deacon Road, Bitterne, Southampton SO19

Welcome to Upper Deacon Road, one of Bitterne’s most sought-after addresses — a peaceful, tucked-away spot that still keeps you incredibly connected. Whether it’s a quick dash into central Southampton, a walk to the local shops and eateries, or a smooth slip onto the M27 for your daily commute, this location nails that balance between calm and convenience.

Now, let’s talk about the home.

Bought by the current owners in 2022, this detached three-bedroom home has undergone an impressive renovation — with around 90% of the property carefully updated to reflect a refined and contemporary feel, all while nodding to the building’s character.

You’re welcomed by a gorgeous storm porch framed by a rustic brick-slip archway, giving an immediate sense of charm. Step through the sage green front door (complete with bold stainless steel knocker) and you’re greeted with instant style — herringbone luxury vinyl tile underfoot with subtle wall panelling and a retro-style radiator adding those well-thought-out touches, this leads you through the hallway and into the kitchen at the rear, It’s the details that really shine here — striking black internal doors, gold-toned accessories, and soft, ambient lighting create a cohesive, high-end finish throughout.

To the right of the hallway, the main living space unfolds. It’s bright and generous, thanks to a beautiful bay window fitted with plantation shutters. A custom media wall spans the width of the room — with integrated fireplace, TV space, and concealed storage for all your tech. This is the perfect spot to sink into an evening film, with Google-enabled lighting setting the tone at the tap of an app.

Clever internal crittall-style doors have transformed the previously open lounge/diner into a more purposeful layout, with the formal dining area now offering built-in cabinetry and ample space to host friends or enjoy family dinners.

The kitchen next door is a real treat — shaker-style units, marble-effect worktops and splashbacks, and those ever-popular gold finishes on sockets, taps, and handles. You’ll find a full-height integrated fridge and freezer, Lamona oven and microwave, and even a built-in washing machine and tumbledryer. The flow works perfectly for modern life. Shhh don't tell anyone but one of the owners is a mean Baker and you may have the beautiful experiance of smelling a freshly baked warm Sourdough!

To the rear, a conservatory awaits — the only part of the home untouched in the renovation. The current owners have had architectural drawings completed for a full-width rear extension, which will be left for the next chapter to begin. The south-facing garden is a suntrap and ready to be landscaped to your taste. There’s also a handy storage shed, and secure side access.

Upstairs, the style and quality continue. All three bedrooms are well proportioned — yes, even the third, which can comfortably accommodate a double bed. The main bedroom is a standout, featuring built-in wardrobes framed by the front bay window, with plenty of floor space left over. There’s a fully insulated and boarded loft with ladder and light for easy-access storage.

The family bathroom is simply stunning — finished with marble-effect tiling, matte black fittings, rainfall and handheld showers, a wall-hung vanity unit, and LED mirror. It's fresh, modern, and spa-like — exactly how a bathroom should feel.

Outside, the property sits proudly on a beautiful tree-lined street, a location known for its peaceful atmosphere and kerb appeal. There’s ample space on the driveway, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles, with further potential to expand should you need it — many neighbouring homes have reconfigured their front gardens to create additional parking. Whether you’re a multi-car household or simply want that added flexibility for guests, this setup delivers both practicality and future potential.

Worth noting: The Baxi boiler is neatly tucked under the stairs, recently serviced and performing well.

This is a home that hits all the right notes — stylish yet inviting, practical yet full of warmth. Whether it’s your first step into detached living or a move up the ladder, this property offers that ‘just right’ feeling from the moment you walk in.
