3 bedroom detached house for sale

Charters are proud to present to the market, for the first time in over thirty years, this truly unique and impeccably maintained detached family home, originally constructed in 1955.

Tucked away in a peaceful side road just moments from Shirley’s vibrant high street, this exceptional property must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Perfectly positioned, the home offers convenient access to the city centre, central railway station, and the popular bars, cafés, and restaurants of London Road and Bedford Place. With highly regarded schooling for all ages close by, this location provides an ideal setting for modern family living.

Lovingly updated and meticulously cared for by the current owners over the past three decades, the property is presented in genuine turn-key condition throughout, blending period character with thoughtful contemporary enhancements.
The well-balanced ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, showcasing original parquet flooring that continues into the elegant front sitting room, adding warmth and timeless charm. The sitting room is further enhanced by a beautiful bay window, creating a bright and inviting space.

Double doors lead through to a generously proportioned second reception room, offering excellent versatility. This flexible space could equally serve as a study, playroom, or additional family room depending on individual requirements. The room flows seamlessly into a delightful conservatory extension at the rear, which enjoys views over and direct access to the garden, flooding the area with natural light and creating an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a sleek, contemporary kitchen fitted with integrated appliances.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to a fully boarded loft space, offering excellent additional storage potential. There are two spacious double bedrooms, both benefitting from built-in storage, along with a well-sized third bedroom. These rooms are served by a large four-piece family bathroom suite, combining style and practicality.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a substantial garage extending beyond 39 feet in length. The garage benefits from a remote-controlled electric door, additional parking capacity, an EV charging point, and access to a fantastic garden bar — a superb entertaining space complete with ample built-in storage, a cloakroom WC, and a professionally installed air conditioning unit, ensuring year-round comfort.

To the rear, the private and enclosed garden has been thoughtfully designed for low maintenance and features a full-size garden high line, creating a striking focal point and a wonderful setting for al fresco dining during the warmer months.
