Gainsford Road, Southampton SO19

Gainsford Road by Marco Harris.

Located along Gainsford Road in the ever-desirable Bitterne area, this address commands attention for its rare combination of serenity and connectivity. Blessed by its proximity to the River Itchen, many neighbours enjoy subtle water glimpses and riverside walks just moments from home. The area is cherished for its leafy ambience, low-through traffic, and strong residential community spirit. Everyday essentials, cafés, and local shops lie within easy reach, yet you’re just a short drive or bus ride from Southampton’s heart. For those seeking balance — calm retreat meets urban access this is a locale that quietly outperforms expectation.

Step inside and you’ll discover a home that has been brilliantly finished. The entrance hall flows seamlessly to all principal rooms. The lounge/dining area is a refined space anchored by French doors that frame the rear patio, extending your living outdoors. Adjoining that is a compact yet intelligently designed kitchen the dual aspect door and side window flood the space with natural light, and despite its footprint it accommodates full-size appliances and functions with versatility. You'll also find a secondary door leads directly into the garden.

At the front, you’ll find two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The principal room is a luminous retreat, with a generous bay window, crisp white décor and tasteful wood-effect flooring, creating a calm, airy space. The second bedroom (though snug) works equally well as a guest room or home office. The bathroom is nothing short of impressive a modern suite with a vanity storage unit, a rainfall shower alongside a traditional overhead bath option, heated towel rail, WC, and smart storage, it’s both stylish and supremely functional. The neutral palette binds the home in cohesion, letting your furniture or accent touches take centre stage.

Approach the property via a generous tarmac driveway with space for multiple vehicles a rare asset in this setting. A secure side access runs alongside the house, enhancing both convenience and privacy. The rear outside realm is intentionally staged: An immediate patio wraps round to the right, currently home to a Jacuzzi, offering the perfect spot to unwind. From here, you pass through a wide gated access back to the driveway and at the back of the garden you can cast your gaze to the distant river. Beyond that lies a well-manicured lawn under open sky, a sanctuary for moments of stillness or al fresco gatherings.
