This attractive Victorian semi-detached home enjoys a prime position on a highly sought-after street in the ever-popular suburb of Shirley, offering excellent access to local amenities, well-regarded schooling, the city centre, mainline train station, and the open green spaces of Southampton Common.

Boasting impressive curb appeal, the property is set behind a driveway that provides off-road parking alongside a thoughtfully planted front garden. Entry is via a side door that opens into a welcoming hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and doors lead into the main living accommodation.

To the front, the sitting room is a beautifully presented and inviting space, enhanced by a southerly aspect and a charming bay window fitted with shutters, allowing natural light to flood the room. A rustic chimney breast recess adds character and warmth. Adjacent is a versatile second reception room, ideal as a dining room, additional lounge, or children’s playroom, and equally suited as a potential fifth bedroom if required. This room benefits from a side-facing window and French doors that open into the conservatory.

At the rear, the property has been thoughtfully opened up to create a sociable kitchen/dining space. This bright and airy room features herringbone wood flooring, side aspect windows, and a bay window, while the kitchen itself is fitted with a range of cabinetry, work surfaces, and space for appliances. A built-in larder provides useful storage, and a door leads through to the impressive 7.5m conservatory/lean too. This highly practical space offers additional storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, access to a ground floor WC, and direct access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional separate WC. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the house and features fitted wardrobes flanking the chimney breast recess. The remaining bedrooms are all well sized, providing comfortable and flexible living arrangements. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin, and WC.

Externally, the property benefits from a dropped kerb leading to driveway parking, complemented by a planted frontage and pathway to the entrance. A secure side passage offers additional storage and leads through to the conservatory/lean too. The rear garden is well established, featuring a patio area, a lawn bordered by mature shrubs, and a removeable tin-built workshop/storage shed, with further garden space beyond.

This charming and spacious home perfectly combines period character with modern practicality, making it an ideal choice for families seeking both style and convenience.
