3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Simon Way, Southampton, Hampshire SO18

The location
Tucked away in a cul-de-sac, Simon Way enjoys one of those locations that manages to offer the best of both worlds. Quietly positioned away from the busier main roads, yet exceptionally convenient for getting around Southampton and the surrounding areas, this is a location that makes everyday life that little bit easier. Situated just off the Kane's Hill roundabout, the property is particularly well placed for those needing access to the M27 motorway, with Junction 7 only a short drive away. From here, travelling towards Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh and further afield is straightforward, while Southampton City Centre, Bitterne and Hedge End are all within easy reach. For those commuting regularly or simply wanting to remain well connected, it's a position that certainly has its advantages.

Closer to home, Thornhill Park Road provides an excellent selection of everyday amenities, including convenience stores, takeaway restaurants such as Papa Johns, a petrol station, pharmacy and the nearby Ladies Walk Practice doctors' surgery. Having these facilities so close to home is a genuine benefit, particularly for busy households. For larger shopping trips, there are several supermarkets within the surrounding area, including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda, while the retail facilities around Hedge End provide further options for shopping and leisure. Families are also well catered for, with a selection of local schools, recreational facilities and green spaces nearby. The wider area offers a choice of parks, walking routes and places to enjoy some time outdoors, while Southampton's city centre provides an extensive range of restaurants, entertainment venues and shopping opportunities.

It's this combination of a tucked-away residential setting, practical local amenities and excellent transport connections that makes Simon Way such an appealing place to call home.

The property
This attractive three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a fantastic balance of comfortable living accommodation, practical family space and some really thoughtful improvements made by the current owners. Stepping inside, you're welcomed by an entrance hallway which leads through to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The living room is a particularly good size, providing a comfortable and versatile space for everyday family life. There's plenty of scope to accommodate a generous sofa arrangement and additional furniture, creating somewhere to relax in the evenings, spend time together or entertain friends and family. Moving towards the rear of the property, the kitchen and dining room forms another important part of the home. Combining the practicalities of a working kitchen with space for a dining table, it's a layout that lends itself well to day-to-day living. Whether it's preparing dinner after work, sitting down for a family meal or having friends over at the weekend, the space provides that all-important connection between cooking and dining. The kitchen also benefits from a comprehensive range of appliances that the owners intend to leave as part of the sale, including the oven, hob, extractor fan, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave and wine cooler. This makes it a particularly practical proposition for the next owners. Beyond the kitchen and dining area is the conservatory, providing an additional reception space overlooking the garden. It's a useful extension of the ground-floor living accommodation and offers flexibility depending on how you choose to use it. A secondary sitting area, children's playroom, hobby space or simply somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee are all possibilities.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a comfortable double room and benefits from an excellent addition in the form of bespoke fitted wardrobes, designed and installed by aps, a reputable local carpentry and building company. These have been thoughtfully incorporated to maximise the available storage while keeping the room looking smart and uncluttered. Bedroom two provides another versatile bedroom, suitable for family members or guests, while bedroom three benefits from further built-in storage and would work equally well as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is undoubtedly one of the standout improvements within the property. Recently updated, the finish has been carefully considered, with timeless tiling, beautiful gold-toned fittings and a contemporary wall-mounted vanity unit with an integrated wash basin. The combination of materials and finishes gives the bathroom a refined, modern appearance without feeling overly fashionable or likely to date quickly. It's a lovely example of how a relatively simple space can be transformed through good choices and attention to detail.

Throughout the property, the accommodation offers a practical arrangement for modern family life, with the additional conservatory, fitted storage and recently improved bathroom making this a home with plenty to offer.

Garden, garage & external features
Outside, the property continues to impress, particularly with its sunny rear garden and the additional practicality provided by the garage and generous side access. The rear garden enjoys plenty of sunshine, creating an inviting outdoor space for everything from summer barbecues and family gatherings to simply sitting outside with a coffee and enjoying some fresh air. A patio provides space for garden furniture and outdoor dining, with the paved area continuing around the side of the property. This creates a useful connection between the rear garden and the generous side access, making it easier to move garden equipment, bicycles and other items without needing to take them through the house. The generous side access is a particularly welcome feature, offering the sort of practicality that can sometimes be overlooked when choosing a home. Another excellent benefit is the garage, which can be accessed directly from the end of the rear garden as well as from the road. This offers useful flexibility, whether required for vehicle storage, bicycles, tools or general household storage.

The combination of the garage, sunny garden, patio and side access provides a really practical outdoor arrangement that should appeal to a wide range of buyers.
