Charters are delighted to offer for sale this delightful, charming, detached residence that truly is one of a kind and presents new owners the opportunity to reside within the highly desirable district of Upper Shirley. Living here will provide you with easy access to The General Hospital, the university campus, the open spaces on offer at the sports centre and Southampton Common, as well as being within easy reach of the central railway station, the city centre and both King Edward VI school and Richard Taunton sixth form college. The impressive reception hallway, with built in storage, has both parquet flooring and picture rails, with doors leading through to the large sitting room with feature fireplace and leaded obscure stained-glass window. The generously sized dining room benefits from both a feature fireplace and a bespoke fitted dark wood bar. The kitchen/breakfast room boasts an integral fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine as well as a built-in larder cupboard. Additionally, there is both a handy shower room and cloakroom. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a generous ground floor double bedroom measuring 16 feet in length and an inner lobby leading to the boiler room. The first-floor landing provides access to the large loft space and doors to the generously sized family bathroom which we understand was originally designed as an additional bedroom, and given the size of the room could again be used as such or potentially split into two rooms, subject to the relevant planning permission. There are two further, very large double bedrooms, one of which includes built in wardrobes, whilst the second benefits from doors leading to storage into the eaves, which could comfortably be turned into a walk-in dressing area. The property itself sits enviably upon a generously sized plot with front and rear gardens, offering a high degree of privacy. The front of the property also benefits from a large driveway, providing off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached double garage with connected power.
