Maple Road by Marco Harris. 

A truly unique offering in the heart of Bitterne, this 1900s semi-detached stunner is packed with contemporary flair and thoughtful design. The show-stopping rear extension with 12 metres of UV-protected glass, sleek black aluminium sliders, and luxurious underfloor heating creates the ultimate entertaining space. With a high-end kitchen, dimmable lighting, landscaped garden, and exceptional attention to detail throughout, this property is perfect for modern living. Add to that the restored original brickwork, courtyard frontage, and clever touches like the mezzanine bedroom, and it’s clear—this is no ordinary home. Set moments from Beechwood School, Bitterne Park, and fantastic local amenities, this property offers both lifestyle and location in equal measure. There's still scope to personalise the upstairs, making it the ideal balance of finished luxury and future potential.

Located in the heart of Bitterne, this sensational home sits just a stone’s throw from Beechwood School and within walking distance of Bitterne Park, Riverside walks, and the vibrant Triangle. Local shops, eateries (including Marco Harris’ favourite, Soca Shack), and Bitterne Train Station are all nearby, while Southampton City Centre is easily accessible. Whether you're commuting, seeking family-friendly amenities, or looking to enjoy riverside life, this location ticks every box.

Step inside to a breathtaking open-plan layout where period charm meets sleek, contemporary styling. The original front room has been cleverly opened up into a formal dining area—though easily repurposed into a snug or separate lounge. A second reception room, currently used as the main living space, links directly to a dramatic kitchen-living-dining extension that truly steals the show. Featuring 12 metres of UV-protected glass, oversized black aluminium sliders, skylights, and an ash grey clad media wall, this space is the epitome of modern design.At the rear, oversized black aluminium sliding doors (2.5m high) span the rear extension, seamlessly connecting the interior to a beautifully landscaped garden. Complete with artificial lawn, patio, and a sheltered garden zone ideal for a home bar, workspace or chill-out area, this space is hardwired for mood lighting and convenience with multiple exterior sockets. This home strikes the perfect balance between classic architecture and cutting-edge design.

The kitchen boasts Neff and AEG integrated appliances, a stunning Corian waterfall-edge worktop and sink, oversized upstands, a picture window, and dimmable track lighting throughout. Underfloor heating runs seamlessly beneath the entire ground floor, with additional central heating for optimal comfort. A stylish downstairs cloakroom features Crosswater rimless toilet and mood lighting. Upstairs, the bathroom continues the luxury feel with Crosswater Exerfill system, a Villeroy & Boch bath, floating Laufen sink, and full porcelain tiling. The three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the third showcasing a striking mezzanine sleeping or storage platform.
