Melrose Road, Upper Shirley, Southampton, Hampshire, SO15

Nestled in one of Upper Shirley’s most desirable cul-de-sac locations, this substantial detached chalet bungalow offers remarkable potential for customisation and is presented with no onward chain. This property has been under the same ownership for over five decades and presents a unique opportunity to obtain single storey living in such a premier location and craft a personalised home to your specification.

On arrival, a large block-paved driveway greets you and provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and access to a carport and adjoining garage. Stepping Inside, a generous entrance hall welcomes you with plenty of built-in storage. Stairs ascend to the first floor and doors lead to the substantial ground floor. At the rear, a versatile dual-purpose reception room, featuring a gas fireplace, high ceiling, two large windows, and patio doors, is perfect for hosting both dining and sitting arrangements, with views and access to the private rear garden. The kitchen, alongside a breakfast room, is fitted with base-level cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, integrated cooking appliances, and provisions for freestanding appliances, with additional built-in storage adding functionality. This level is also host to a useful utility/boot room which has external access. There are three bedrooms, two being large double rooms that come complete with built-in wardrobes and vanity wash basins, while a convenient bathroom and separate WC facilities serve this level. The first-floor layout offers a spacious landing area with an abundance of built-in and loft storage, and an additional double bedroom, allowing for alternation into further bedrooms or a home office if required.

The rear garden, beautifully private with mature border plantings, is largely laid to lawn and enjoys a desirable westerly aspect, making it ideal for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
