Inside, the ground floor features a spacious, open-plan layout with solid wood parquet flooring, perfect for modern living. At the heart of this home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining room, and comfy seating area, where contemporary design meets period features. Boasting an impressive breakfast bar, which houses a range-style cooker, solid quartz worktops, coordinating vintage-style tiling inlaid into the wood flooring, and bespoke cabinetry, this kitchen is a standout feature. The kitchen features an integrated dishwasher, with space available for further appliances. Natural light pours in through 3 skylights and 4-metre bifold doors, which fully open to the rear patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The flooring continues through to the elegant lounge, with a feature wall of stylish Morris and Co wallpaper, further enhanced by the original 1930s coving. A convenient downstairs WC, complete with a marble sink, complements the ground floor.

Upstairs, the three well-proportioned, stylishly decorated bedrooms are filled with natural light, the front bedrooms offering uninterrupted views over Southampton. The beautifully designed family bathroom features high-quality ceramics and an incredible art deco style carronite bath, partnered with a vintage-style mixer shower and bath spout. The care taken to maintain the character of this home is evident in every detail, from the art deco door furniture on the 1930s-style doors to the vintage-style hallway tiling and original staircase. Even the original stained glass windows at the top of the stairs have been lovingly retained.

The good sized rear garden, which includes a patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, has been cleared and stripped back, offering a blank canvas for the new owner to create their own outdoor space. Additionally, the property comes with full plans for a loft conversion, including a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. The property is serviced by a modern combi boiler system (installed less than three years ago).

Situated within a few minutes’ walk of two highly regarded schools and within walking distance of local amenities, including Bitterne train station, shops and parks, this home offers the perfect combination of convenience, style, and potential for growth.
