Description

This six-bedroom semi-detached home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a highly sought-after area of Upper Shirley. With over 2,700 square feet of living space, this property boasts well-proportioned rooms that allow for versatile use. The generous layout includes an inviting entrance hall, a spacious lounge measuring approximately 26 feet, and a dining room that can accommodate family gatherings or serve as a formal entertaining space. The interior has retained many original features while also offering a canvas for personal touches and updates. A separate kitchen with access to the outdoor areas provides practical functionality, while the extensive ground floor also features a family room or office area. The first floor comprises five bedrooms plus a nursery, providing ample accommodation for larger families or potential tenants. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, adding convenience to daily living. An attractive aspect of this property is the self-contained annexe located at the end of the garden, equipped with its own kitchenette and shower room. This could be utilized as a guest suite, home office, or even rented out for additional income—an appealing prospect for investors looking to maximize their return. Externally, the south-easterly facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging providing privacy, alongside an inviting patio area ideal for outdoor gatherings. With planning permission already granted to convert the loft area into two additional bedrooms and a bathroom complete with dormer windows, there is significant potential for further expansion. The home benefits from off-road parking suitable for multiple vehicles and lies within easy reach of local amenities, schools catering to various age groups, and excellent transport links including Southampton's mainline railway station. Additionally, it offers proximity to Southampton International Airport and major roadways like the M3 and M27. Without forward chain complications, this property stands ready for new owners who wish to embrace its character while leveraging its investment potential in one of the region’s most desirable locales.
