Wheelers Meadow, Bursledon, Southampton, SO31

Former Show-Home in Exclusive Gated Development!

Tucked away within a private gated setting of just eight individually designed homes, this property enjoys one of the most desirable positions in Bursledon. Built in the early 2000s and originally chosen as the show-home for the development, it occupies a generous, secluded plot while still being moments from key amenities.

Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Junction 8 of the M27, providing swift access to Southampton, Portsmouth, and further afield. Everyday essentials are just minutes away at the nearby Tesco superstore, which has evolved into a lively community hub with convenience stores, coffee spots, eateries, and services all under one roof. For families, two well-maintained children’s parks and a variety of open green spaces are within a five-minute walk, while The Plough a welcoming local pub complete with outdoor seating and a children’s play area is just a short stroll. The surrounding countryside and footpaths also offer plenty of scenic routes for dog walking or weekend strolls.

Approached via a smart, low-maintenance frontage and a sheltered storm porch, the entrance hall provides an immediate sense of versatility. To the left, a dedicated study offers an ideal home workspace but could equally serve as a cosy snug, playroom, or even a fifth/sixth bedroom if required. On the opposite side, the formal living room spans the full depth of the property, with a feature fireplace and a welcoming feel, flowing effortlessly via double doors into the dining room at the rear. This elegant space can comfortably seat eight, perfect for family gatherings or dinner parties, and enjoys French doors opening directly onto the garden.

The kitchen–breakfast room sits alongside and is well-equipped with a breakfast bar, integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob, and extractor. A separate utility keeps laundry and additional appliances neatly tucked away, while providing direct access outside. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two benefit from their own ensuite shower rooms, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms an arrangement well-suited to busy households.

The property’s outdoor areas have been thoughtfully designed to provide a balance of entertaining space, privacy, and low-maintenance upkeep. The rear garden is far larger than first impressions suggest and offers distinct zones to enjoy throughout the seasons. A paved patio stretches out from the dining room, with a retractable sun awning creating shade on warmer days. Beyond, a section of high-quality artificial turf offers year-round greenery, bordered by well-established planting and mature trees.

A sheltered barbecue area is perfectly positioned for summer evenings, while a winding side pathway leads to a peaceful corner retreat complete with circular paving, stepping stones, and screening from surrounding foliage a spot designed for quiet moments with a book or a glass of wine.

The detached double garage stands to the front, with driveway parking for up to four vehicles. The garage has been cleverly adapted: storage remains behind the original front doors, while the rear has been transformed into a heated, fully lit bar and entertaining area, complete with stairs to an upper floor currently serving as a bright home office with a Velux window. Behind the structure, foundations, drainage, and water connections are already in place, with full planning permission granted for a kitchen and shower room creating the opportunity to complete a self-contained annex, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential short-term letting income.
