About the property

FOUR BEDROOM SEMI DETACHED HOME

The extensive refurbishment of this four-bedroom, three-reception room semi-detached family home in excess of 2000 sqft is now complete and is ready for immediate sale and occupation offering unparalleled quality and a high specification finish throughout.

A welcoming hallway with engineered oak flooring provides access to the ground floor accommodation. The front door is a composite door with a multi-point locking system, ensuring security. The property retains many of the original character features, which have been refurbished, such as the wooden panelling, picture rails, and door handles.

The main lounge, located at the front of the house, is a haven of comfort and style, with sunlight streaming through a large bay window. A central fireplace with wood burning stove (DEFRA SIA Ecodesign ready) adds a cosy touch.

The separate family room to the rear of the house features French doors that open to the garden, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor flow. The oak flooring continues seamlessly from the hall. Within this room, an original fireplace and hearth has been discovered further bringing the original character and charm of the property to light.

A highlight of this property is the expansive open-plan kitchen diner, which boasts high vaulted ceilings with three roof lights. This area includes a central island with a four flex-zone induction hob with colour touch screen control with provision for a gas hob also provided. The island also features an automated rising downdraft extractor unit with a further extraction unit in the ceiling. Integrated appliances include twin Neff ovens, one with a "Slide and Hide" door, the other including a microwave, a Smeg dishwasher and a frost-free 70/30 split fridge freezer. The luxury supermatt true handleless kitchen cabinets are topped by floating slimline solid surface worktops. Additional features in the kitchen include underfloor heating, under-cabinet LED lighting and accent LED lighting. Large format porcelain floor tiles run throughout the kitchen, utility and W.C matching with the porcelain paving accessed through the kitchen French doors to again deliver an indoor-outdoor flow.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient utility room and W.C, with plumbing and power for a washing machine and dryer, as well as pre-plumbing for a water softener. Behind the utility room is a bike/garden store equipped with a rolling door, power, lighting and provisions for an EV charging unit.

A gallery staircase leads to the first floor, which comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms: three generously sized doubles and a fourth spacious single bedroom. The main bedroom features a luxurious ensuite with underfloor heating.

The modern bathroom suite offers a harmonious blend of form and function and includes underfloor heating and L-shaped shower bath. Both bathrooms are fully tiled and feature combination rain showers, waterfall taps and integrated electric toothbrush chargers.

This property boasts a large attic that is perfect for a variety of uses. The space features gas radiators, a plastered ceiling with inset downlighting and plastered walls providing a smooth and polished finish. Coupled to being fully insulated and with the added benefit of both mechanical and passive ventilation results in a comfortable space whatever the weather. With multiple power points installed, it is ready to accommodate any electrical needs. The room is bright and airy, thanks to the roof light window that allows natural light to flood in. Access is convenient with a large sturdy, accessible, counter-balanced drop-down wooden ladder and safety glass balustrade. While the attic does not currently have formal council sign-off to be classified as a permanently habitable space, in reality it offers tremendous flexibility for use as a home office or studio. Future proof provisions have also been made to run hot and cold water to the attic. Its thoughtful design and high-quality finishes make it a valuable addition to the property.

Externally, the property has undergone major cosmetic enhancements, including painting the existing pebbledash render and refurbishing the roof. A new driveway laid to shingle provides off-road parking for two cars. The garden to the rear is laid predominantly to newly turfed lawn with an area also laid to beautiful porcelain paving.

Additional features include double-glazed windows throughout, ensuring energy efficiency as well as underfloor heating in the kitchen, bathroom, and ensuite controlled by individual wall-mounted touch-control panels. The property has been rewired throughout and houses a new RCBO consumer unit. A new high-capacity dual-zone central heating system with Google Nest smart control system has been installed and all hot and cold plumbing has been replaced.

Nestled in the charming Upper Shirley area, this property offers a blend of tranquillity and convenience. Enjoy the serenity of residential living while being just minutes away from Southampton's vibrant city centre. Explore nearby parks, schools, and amenities, creating the perfect balance between a suburban retreat and urban accessibility.
