River View Road, Bitterne Park, Southampton, Hampshire, SO18

This beautifully refurbished detached home sits in the heart of Bitterne Park, enjoying uninterrupted views over Riverside Park and the River Itchen.

Inside, the property offers four spacious double bedrooms—all benefitting from the outlook—two reception rooms, and a striking kitchen/breakfast room that flows seamlessly onto a generous rear garden with a powered outbuilding.

At the front, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with paving to provide side-by-side off-road parking and direct access to the main entrance. Stepping inside, a welcoming hallway with original parquet flooring sets the tone, adding instant character and charm. From here, you’ll find the lounge, dining room, and kitchen/breakfast room.

The lounge, to the front, is flooded with natural light from its impressive bay window. Next door, the dining room enjoys its own side bay window, creating a bright and elegant setting for entertaining or family meals. At the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home—a stylish, practical space fitted with a range of wall and base units, a ceramic sink with mixer tap, integrated oven, hob, extractor, and dishwasher. There’s also space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer. The breakfast area opens directly onto the garden through chic tri-fold doors, blurring the boundary between indoors and out.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms all enjoy panoramic views across Riverside Park and the River Itchen—an ever-changing, picture-perfect backdrop. The master bedroom mirrors the lounge below with its large bay window, while the second bedroom makes the most of the river aspect with a wide picture window and unique quad-fold doors from the landing. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the first floor, fitted with a panelled bath, vanity sink unit, and low-level W.C. A ground-floor shower room adds further convenience.

Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing throughout, and loft access from the landing.

Outside, gated side and rear access lead to a generous garden designed with gravel, decking, and lawn areas for play, relaxation, and al fresco dining. The powered outbuilding offers versatility—perfect as a home office, studio, or gym. A rear gate opens directly into Riverside Park, placing open green space, riverside walks, and nature quite literally on your doorstep.
