The Vale, Locks Heath, Southampton SO31

A rare opportunity to secure a fabulous chain-free family home in The Vale – a five bedroom family home with a tranquil woodland backdrop in the heart of Locks Heath

Homes in The Vale very rarely come to market - in fact, the last sale was almost a decade ago! This is one of Locks Heath’s most sought-after roads: A peaceful, non-estate cul-de-sac, yet just a short walk to schools, shops and parks. Combining privacy, space and style, this impressive three-storey family home is truly unique and offers flexible living options.

The moment you step into the stunning entrance hallway, with natural stone flooring, high ceilings and impressive proportions, you know this home is something special. It sets the tone for the living spaces that follow – light-filled, generous and designed for modern family life.

To the rear, two versatile reception rooms and the kitchen are flooded with light from the vast windows and connect to the beautifully landscaped garden, and the woodland beyond. The vast sitting room has a real sense of space and warmth and is a fabulous place to relax or entertain, with extra-large windows and doors to the garden, making most of the tranquil backdrop to this home. The dining/family room is another fantastic space, offering flexibility of use, and boasts the same high ceilings, large windows, access to the garden and adjoins a brand-newly re-fitted utility room.

The fabulous, modern kitchen was refitted in 2019 and is at the heart of the home, and is a great space for cooking, and socialising and provides plenty of storage and built in-appliances. A useful home office overlooks the front of the home and offers high-speed broadband – perfect for home-working, and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the feeling of space continues with the first floor offering an impressive and light filled landing, with a large window framing views to the front of the home. Four great size double bedrooms, majority with fitted wardrobes, including one with ensuite, provide options for a growing family or flexible living options, with each room having a real sense of privacy. A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor.

The second floor is entirely devoted to the stunning, large master suite – a genuinely private sanctuary. With a large window overlooking the woodland beyond, a spacious bathroom, dressing area and extensive storage, this master retreat combines luxury with tranquillity.

Outside, the professionally landscaped rear garden has been brilliantly styled with a Mediterranean influence, offering space to relax and entertain, all with total privacy and uninterrupted woodland views. A detached double garage and driveway provide parking for two cars, with further parking available within the cul-de-sac.
