Langhorn Road, Southampton

Just like not judging a book by its cover, this 1930s 5-bedroom detached house should not be judged by its front aspect – it MUST BE VIEWED INSIDE to be fully appreciated for its space and charm. This property would be ideal for families looking for a peaceful garden, ample space, parking yet in such a central location. The property sits on an impressive plot extending 270 ft (82.5 metres) and offers a magnificent landscaped garden with generous lawned area and extensive flowerbeds as well as fruit trees, fruit bushes and room for anyone keen on a spot of gardening. There is plenty of room for children to play in a well fenced safe area and an abundance of space for anyone working at home.

The house is ideally situated approximately 0.5 miles from Southampton University within walking distance of two major hospitals, a short distance from the M27 and Southampton Airport and Southampton Parkway railway station. The bus links on Langhorn Rd will take you to Southampton airport, Eastleigh and the National Oceanography Centre. Burgess Rd Bus stop takes you to General Hospital and NOCS Central Station and to the Science Park.

The property is also close to junior and secondary schools, local shops/restaurants and within walking distance of Riverside Park which provides leisure activities with very pleasant walks along the river to a Garden Centre and Hobbycraft.
