Kathleen Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO19

NO FORWARD CHAIN!

Kathleen Road is tucked away in the heart of Sholing, a suburb on the east side of Southampton that has long been a favourite with families. The area strikes the perfect balance between community feel and everyday convenience. You’ll find a range of local schools close by, excellent road links with Junction 8 of the M27 just a short drive away, and a great mix of shops and amenities on your doorstep. Whether it’s grabbing a morning Costa, a late-night workout at the 24-hour gym, or a quick food shop at Lidl, everything you need is within easy reach. Southampton city centre, waterfront walks, and Hamble’s sailing scene are also nearby, giving you the best of both worlds suburban living with city and coastal connections.

This three-bedroom semi-detached home has been cherished by the same family for generations, and it’s easy to see why. From the front, its double bay windows and landscaped frontage give instant curb appeal, complemented by a private driveway and a garage stretching an impressive seven metres in length. With some reconfiguration, there’s scope to expand the driveway to accommodate multiple vehicles. Inside, the character of the home shines through. A welcoming porch opens into the bay-fronted living room, flowing naturally into the dining space. Details such as the dado rail, fireplace, and fitted cabinetry hint at the property’s heritage and present exciting opportunities for future restoration. From here, double doors lead into the kitchen, a bright and functional space overlooking the sunny rear garden. While the cabinetry may benefit from updating, the solid wooden units and ample worktop space offer plenty of potential to up-cycle or remodel.

The ground floor also features a versatile additional room—currently nicknamed “the blue room.” With natural light flooding in, it’s ideal for a home office, creative studio, or even a snug. To the rear, the garden offers a decked area, large lawn, and a charming cabin-style storage shed. The garage, accessible from the garden, opens endless options for secure storage, a workshop, or even conversion into a gym or office. Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned double bedrooms with built-in storage, alongside a third bedroom currently set up with a clever cabin bed to maximise the space. The bathroom is fully serviceable, while a recently updated Glow-worm boiler in the rear bedroom provides peace of mind for years to come.

The Opportunity

This is a home with real promise. It’s liveable as it stands, but equally, it’s ready for someone with vision to unlock its full potential. You could explore a double-storey side extension, a wrap-around kitchen diner, or even a loft conversion all subject to the usual consents. Imagine creating a stunning open-plan entertaining hub across the back of the house, with bi-folds spilling out to a landscaped garden exactly the kind of lifestyle upgrade so many buyers are craving. Whether you’re a first-time buyer eager to put your own stamp on a property, a growing family looking for more space, or an investor searching for a project with long-term value, Kathleen Road is packed with possibilities. This is a chance to create your forever home.
