5 bed detached house for sale

St. Johns Road, Locks Heath, Southampton SO31

This home is one of those rare finds that genuinely offers something different. Set in the heart of Locks Heath on the sought after St John’s Road, it’s within walking distance of local parks, the Locks Heath Centre and both primary and secondary schools, including Brookfield. The location alone makes this a brilliant choice for families, but the home itself is what really sets it apart.

It isn’t just one property, but two. The main house and a completely separate one bedroom annex make this an incredibly flexible home with options for multigenerational living, working from home, guest accommodation or even Airbnb. It’s a setup you don’t often find in this area.

The main house extends to approximately 2,100 sq ft, with the annexe providing an additional 600 sq ft of beautifully finished space, giving you a layout that can evolve as your needs do.

Downstairs, the main house offers two very generous reception rooms. The front reception is currently used as a hairdressing studio but would work equally well as a business base, a teenagers’ den, a formal sitting room or even an additional bedroom if needed.

The main lounge is spacious but cosy, welcoming and with an open fireplace and doors out to the garden. Adjacent to this is a snug area currently set up as a home office, adding even more flexibility.

The kitchen-dining-family room is a real highlight. Recently refitted with quartz worktops, modern cabinetry and integrated appliances, it offers a great space for cooking, eating and relaxing. There is room for a full dining table and a generous seating area, and the bifold doors open directly onto the large terrace, making it perfect for gatherings and everyday family life.

A good size utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms. The master bedroom is an impressive size, with its own ensuite and lovely views over the garden. The remaining bedrooms all comfortably take double beds and offer a mixture of front and rear outlooks. The family bathroom is very spacious, with a bath, double sinks and additional storage.

Outside, the plot is exceptionally generous. The driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles, and the rear garden has been designed for both relaxing and entertaining. There is a large deck with a pergola, space for outdoor furniture, a fire pit area and steps leading down to the 30 foot, solar heated swimming pool. Beyond this is a further lawned area, giving you plenty of room for hosting and everyday enjoyment.

The detached one bedroom annexe has been refurbished to a high standard and includes a separate lounge kitchen area, conservatory, bedroom, shower room, utility space and its own private courtyard style garden. It’s a rare addition that opens up endless possibilities.

This home is a gem in every sense. Unique, flexible and designed for real life, it offers something truly special in this part of Locks Heath.
