Branksome Avenue By Marco Harris (Offered with No Forward Chain) - A substantial three-bedroom family home with generous living accommodation, a large rear garden and exciting potential for further enhancement, ideally positioned in the popular Upper Shirley area. Approached via a private driveway and front garden laid mainly to lawn, the property opens into a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, providing access to the principal ground-floor accommodation.

To the front of the property is a bright and inviting lounge, featuring a characterful fireplace and attractive bay window overlooking the front garden. Continuing through the hallway, there is a convenient downstairs cloakroom, followed by a particularly impressive rear reception room. This generous, open-plan space offers considerable flexibility and could be utilised as a dining room, family room, snug or additional entertaining space depending on the needs of the new owners. The room benefits from patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

A further staircase leads to a versatile loft room, currently providing an excellent additional space which could be used as a playroom, home office, hobby room or similar. The room benefits from a velux window and rooftop views, adding another useful dimension to this already generous home.

Outside, the property really comes into its own, with a substantial rear garden providing an excellent space for children, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors.
