INTRODUCTION
This Victorian semi-detached house, located in Bitterne Village, was built in 1885 and is presented in immaculate condition having been very well maintained by the current owners, with period character features found throughout this bright, spacious family home. Additionally driveway parking and a private enclosed rear garden further enhance its appeal.

INTERNALLY
The entrance door opens to a side hallway, with original parquet flooring, where you have the stairs leading up to the first floor and a choice of two doors, each opening to a reception room. The side aspect window, letting in natural light, makes this a lovely welcoming entrance to the property.

Starting in the front reception room you immediately see the central cast iron fireplace with decorative tiled panels to each side, tiled hearth and wooden mantlepiece over. The arched window, ornate ceiling rose and coving add to the period features in this living space, completed by the wooden flooring. It is worth noting at this time that sash windows are found throughout the entire house. Moving through to the dining room the wooden flooring is continued and you have a second period fireplace. There is also a convenient understairs storage cupboard.

Continuing through the property you come to the kitchen, fitted with pale blue storage cabinets with solid wood work surfaces, a sink with double drainer and spaces for your appliances. A second staircase leads to the first floor and has an understairs cupboard. Moving through the kitchen you come to the rear lobby which affords access to the rear garden to the side with doors opening to the family bathroom and separate cloakroom. The bathroom has been fitted with a white suite comprising an original cast iron bath with glass shower screen and shower head, sink and toilet, with tiling to principle areas. The cloakroom benefits from a sink and toilet, perfect for use by visiting guests.

There are two staircases in the house situated in the front and back, providing flexible access to each of three bedrooms and downstairs without disturbance of people in any of the rooms. Bedroom one is front aspect whilst the window in bedroom two is side aspect. Both have period cast iron fireplaces, picture rails and fitted wardrobes. Moving through bedroom two brings you to the second landing, with the stairs leading down to the kitchen in front of you and the third bedroom/study to your right with a side aspect window.

EXTERNALLY
To the front the block paved driveway provides off road parking with hedge borders to each side and gives access to the entrance door and gated pedestrian access to the rear garden. A path leads from the front access gate and the side door to the rear garden, with the path continuing along one side to a patio area with stone chippings laid. There is a shrub border alongside the path with brick walls surrounding making this a lovely private outside space to relax.
