4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Uplands Way, Highfield, Southampton, Hampshire SO17

This classic semi- detached Collins house is offered for sale with no forward chain for the first time in almost seventy years. The level, southerly facing rear garden measures 95' x 41' with ample space for a studio or summerhouse.

The highly sought Uplands Estate has conservation status and is an aspired residential address that has proved ever popular and is conveniently positioned for access to the University, the General hospital, the Common and the extensive facilities of Portswood Broadway.

The property will require updating/modernisation and will appeal to upsizers and downsizers seeking a traditional family home that provides a blank canvas for improvement and personalisation of the interior. The spacious reception hall creates an impressive entrance and there is a shower room found on the left with an adjacent cupboard housing the boiler.

The dining room is found on the right and has a front view together with a mantelpiece and tiled hearth. The separate lounge features stripped floorboards with a window and French doors overlooking the garden. The mantelpiece is flanked by a double store cupboard and an original leaded light glazed display cabinet.

The large kitchen will require re-fitting but boasts the original full height dresser, a quarry tiled floor, a side door, a double bowl sink and a rear aspect window. On the first floor the generous landing has a hatch and ladder allowing access to the loft that offers excellent storage space. Four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a bathroom (this requires installation) and a separate WC.

Outside, the front garden has a small lawn and hedging to the front boundary. The driveway allows off road parking and leads to the detached brick built single garage. The rear garden has a southerly aspect being predominantly laid to lawn with a leafy outlook and a mature Wisteria adorns the rear elevation.
